Two new offline apps: image optimisation and PDF to Excel

October 4, 2026

Two more Compile North apps are on the way to the Microsoft Store, and both follow the same rule as the rest: the file stays on your own PC.

Local SEO Image Optimizer

Batch-convert JPEG, PNG, BMP and static WebP images to WebP on your own machine. Choose a quality level, a maximum image edge or lossless encoding. Images are never enlarged, EXIF orientation is applied, transparency is preserved and source personal metadata is removed.

Before you export, you compare the original with the real decoded WebP preview and the measured file sizes, then review the output filenames. Filename suggestions are optional and use a separately installed local vision model, so nothing is sent anywhere by default.

Offline PDF to Excel Converter Pro

Turn PDF bank statements into reviewed Excel and CSV files. Digital text and scanned pages are read locally with bundled English OCR, and every source page sits beside the editable transaction rows so the figures can be checked.

Review the included rows and acknowledge statement completeness before exporting. Excel output carries real dates, numeric amounts, a filterable table and a source audit sheet, and encrypted review sessions let you stop and resume later.

One payment, no subscription

Both apps are a single one-time purchase for lifetime access at $79.99, with no subscription and no paid add-ons. They are in certification at the Microsoft Store now and will appear on the apps page as soon as they publish.
