Convert & Compress

Product Introduction

1. Convert & Compress is a native macOS utility designed to convert, resize, and adjust image quality across 20+ formats while offering batch processing capabilities for efficient workflow management.
2. The app prioritizes privacy, native performance, and simplicity, eliminating the need for subscriptions or internet connectivity while ensuring all processing occurs locally on the user’s device.

Main Features

1. The app supports batch conversion of hundreds of images natively, allowing users to drag and drop files or folders for automated processing without manual intervention.
2. A real-time comparison slider enables side-by-side previews of original and converted images, ensuring precise quality adjustments before finalizing output.
3. Native macOS integration provides haptic feedback, keyboard shortcuts (e.g., ⌘+V to paste, H/P/J/W for format changes), and offline functionality, with no file size limits or data transfers to third-party servers.

Problems Solved

1. The app addresses privacy risks associated with online converters by processing images locally, ensuring no uploads to external servers or exposure of sensitive data.
2. It caters to Mac users requiring high-volume image processing, including photographers, designers, and developers who need reliable offline tools for large batches or specialized formats.
3. Typical scenarios include converting RAW camera files to web-friendly formats, compressing design assets without quality loss, and preparing images for apps or publications while maintaining privacy.

Unique Advantages

1. Unlike web-based tools, Convert & Compress operates entirely offline with native macOS optimizations, delivering faster performance and eliminating file transfer delays or internet dependencies.
2. Innovative features like the real-time comparison slider, folder-based export destination selection, and system-level keyboard shortcuts streamline workflows beyond basic conversion tasks.
3. Competitive advantages include unlimited batch processing, support for 52 input formats (e.g., RAW, HEIC, PSD) and 21 output formats (e.g., AVIF, WEBP), and a one-time purchase model with no subscription fees.
