Scans your installed libraries and shows saved-space totals per title.
Easy start
It works with the launchers people already use.
Compact Games scans the game folders you already have, then lets you decide what to compress and what to leave alone.
Safer by design
Warns you before risky choices
If a game may not be a good fit for compression, Compact Games warns you before you make changes.
Your choice
Easy to restore later
Compression is reversible, so you are not locked into one choice.
Built for real cleanup
Less disk-space triage, fewer uninstall decisions.
The goal is simple: help you keep more of your installed games available on the same machine without turning storage cleanup into a chore.
What's new
Active development, small honest releases.

Compatibility
Some games are better left alone.
Compact Games keeps a compatibility list so users can check known trouble spots before making changes.
Check the latest compatibility files
The app and the site both point to the same official release files, so you are not guessing which list is current.

Performance
Most supported games keep working normally after compression.
Some titles are more sensitive, which is why the app warns you before you make risky changes.
Undo
You can restore a game later if you change your mind.
Compact Games is meant to help you keep options open, not force one permanent setup.
Updates
The same installer is used for first install and later updates.
You do not need a separate updater package or a different download flow.
