QuickPix is a fast, native macOS image compressor that runs entirely on your Mac. No upload, no account, no telemetry. Just drag and drop. Built on macOS's native sips engine — the same image-processing system Apple uses internally — so output quality matches what Preview's Export gives you, with the speed of a CLI and the convenience of a drag-and-drop GUI. — WHAT MAKES QUICKPIX DIFFERENT — • 100% OFFLINE Your images never leave your Mac. No upload to a server, no third-party processing. Internal screenshots, unreleased product renders, client work — none of it touches the internet. • 28 FILE TYPES IN, 12 OUT Reads JPEG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, TIFF, GIF, BMP, PSD, JPEG 2000 and RAW files from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, Olympus, Panasonic and Pentax. Writes HEIC, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, GIF and seven more. • FIVE COMPRESSION PRESETS Maximum Compression, Recommended Balance, Web Optimized, Lossless, or Custom format and quality. QuickPix can skip any file that would come out larger than the original. • NO CAP ON A SINGLE RUN A thousand images or ten thousand, in one pass. No daily quota and no per-batch limit. • BEFORE / AFTER SLIDER Built-in visual comparison with pixel-level zoom. Don't trust a file-size number alone — see the actual quality difference, then ship with confidence. • FOLDER WATCHING (Pro) Pick a folder, let QuickPix watch it. Anything you drop in gets compressed automatically. Built for designers and teams who receive assets via Dropbox, Slack, or Finder. • PRESERVES COLOR PROFILE sRGB stays sRGB, Display P3 stays Display P3. Strips EXIF and GPS by default for shareable images. Pro lets you keep specific metadata. • PASTE FROM CLIPBOARD ⌘⇧V from any clipboard. Useful for screenshots that have to be compressed before sharing. — WHO IS QUICKPIX FOR? — • Designers shipping images to a CMS, design system, or marketing site • Developers building image-heavy web apps • Product photographers who need batch processing without subscriptions • Anyone who needs HEIC and RAW compressed, not just JPEG and PNG • Anyone who has hit a twenty-image cap on a web compressor — ONE OPTIMIZER FOR BULK WORK — QuickPix works as an image optimizer for bulk jobs: convert HEIC to JPG (JPEG), and shrink a whole folder of images in one bulk pass. — PRICING — Everyday use is included at no additional purchase — unlimited single-format batches, all the formats. One-time Pro unlock adds folder watching, custom presets, and parallel batch processing. Never a subscription. — FEEDBACK — Made by Peter Zhang.
