FFShare is an Android app that compresses images, videos, and audio files using ffmpeg before you share them. It is handy when you need to shrink a file size quickly without opening a separate editing app, right from the share menu.

Why isn’t FFShare on Google Play?
FFShare is published by its developer on GitHub and is also available on F-Droid, rather than on the Google Play Store.
Is FFShare safe?
FFShare is open source under the GPL-3.0 license, and you can get the official build from the developer's GitHub releases or from F-Droid. As with any app that handles your media files, it will need access to the files you choose to compress and share. FFShare comes straight from its developer rather than through Google Play, so it hasn’t gone through Google’s app review. As with any app, check the permissions it asks for and install it if you’re comfortable with them.
How to install
