The fastest lossless compressor on the internet.

One `piper compress` call replaces your entire storage pipeline. Middle-out encoding finds redundancy nobody else can see, then hands it back bit-for-bit exact.

Lossless Middle-Out Engine

Store everything.
Pay for a fraction of it.

Pied Piper's middle-out engine compresses any file, stream, or dataset with perfect lossless fidelity — and a Weissman score no one else can touch. Drop in one line of code and cut your storage and bandwidth bills overnight.

The platform

Lossless compression, everywhere your data lives.

One engine for object storage, live video, backups, and databases. Pied Piper sits between your app and your storage and quietly makes everything smaller — no re-architecture, no quality loss.

Storage tier

Point your buckets at Pied Piper and shrink cold and hot data alike. Cut your cloud storage bill by up to 98%.

Live video CDN

Compress streams in-flight at sub-frame latency. Ship 4K on a mobile connection with zero visible artifacts.

Developer API

A single REST + gRPC endpoint. SDKs for Go, Python, Rust, and Node. From signup to first compressed byte in five minutes.

How middle-out works

We compress from the middle out — not the edges in.

Traditional codecs scan a file end to end and settle for the patterns they happen to find. Middle-out starts at the densest region of entropy and expands outward in both directions at once, so every pass finds more redundancy than the last. The result is lossless output at ratios classical compression treats as mathematically impossible.
