Picmal is a universal offline media file converter and compressor designed for processing images, video, and audio, with fast batch processing and a built-in workflow. It supports over 100 formats, features Finder integration, presets, detailed codec and bitrate control, resizing, color space options, folder monitoring, automation with shortcuts, and local processing that ensures privacy.
Peculiarities
Convert to over 100 formats
Picmal supports a huge number of formats: from the most popular (JPEG, PNG, MP4, MP3) to specific ones (PSD, RAW, HEIC, WebP, MKV, FLAC, OPUS and others). You can turn PSD to PNG, MOV to MP4, AI to SVG – or perform conversion and compression in one step.
Batch processing:
The app handles hundreds of files at once with ease. Simply drag and drop them into the Picmal window, use the File menu, or the Finder context menu. No need to process files one by one.
Compress without losing visible quality
Reduce the size of images before publishing online or compress videos to fit within email attachment limits. You can compress files while maintaining the original format.
Resizing
Five resizing modes: by percentage, fixed width/height, maximum dimensions, or exact dimensions. All operations (resizing, converting, compressing) are performed in one pass.
Metadata cleanup
Picmal’s metadata removal automatically removes GPS coordinates, camera data, and timestamps from your images, keeping your files lighter and your data safe from being lost along with them.
Ready-made presets and manual settings
There are built-in presets for the web, social media, and archiving. For fine-tuning, you can adjust color space, codecs, bitrate, and other parameters.
Key benefits
Privacy and security
All files are processed exclusively on your Mac. No data leaves the device—unlike online converters that require uploading to a server.
Works without the Internet
Picmal doesn’t require an internet connection after installation. It can be used on a plane, in a cafe with poor Wi-Fi, or when there’s no network at all.
Integration with macOS
The application is lightweight, integrates well with Finder, and supports Quick Actions and Shortcuts.
