Methodology: All tests were conducted under identical conditions on a stock Google Pixel 8 Pro (Tensor G3, 12GB RAM) at ambient room temperature (~21°C) using each app's default compression settings in their respective Medium presets. Timing is measured from the moment the user taps Compress to completion (including forced unskippable ads that block user interaction). Any task exceeding 5 minutes without completing is marked as FAILED. Overall standings and rankings are calculated by adding all completion times together, with a 7.5-minute penalty (450 seconds) added per failed test.
