About
Picmal converts and compresses images, video, audio, and PDFs on your Mac, and nothing gets uploaded. It supports over 100 formats, including HEIC to JPG, MOV to MP4, and FLAC to ALAC. You can batch hundreds of files at once, and compression can reduce file size without a quality drop you'd notice. It works offline and needs no account or subscription.
Beyond conversion, Picmal can split, combine, and reorder PDFs, including turning a folder of photos into a PDF. It can also stitch video clips together, fetch a clip from a pasted link, add a watermark to a video while it converts, and merge or split audio files, such as splitting a podcast or audiobook by chapter. For images, it can trim margins, lift a subject onto a transparent PNG using on-device Vision, trace a logo into SVG paths, and build a full icon set.
Picmal is a one-time purchase with updates included, and a free 7-day download is available. Users in the reviews describe it as simple and fast, with one saying it turns a multipage PDF into individual images with one click. Others mention folder watching, clipboard optimization, and image presets as features they find useful.
