## About

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

— 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.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does QuickPix upload my images to a server?

No. QuickPix runs 100% offline on your Mac — no upload, no account, no telemetry. Internal screenshots, unreleased renders and client work never touch the internet.

### Can QuickPix compress HEIC photos from an iPhone?

Yes. HEIC is supported natively, alongside 28+ formats including JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF, GIF, BMP and PSD — both reading and writing.

### Is there a limit on how many images I can compress at once?

No daily caps and no per-batch limits — drop a folder with 1,000 or 10,000 images and get a compressed folder back.

### Will compressing change my photo's colors or metadata?

Color profiles are preserved — sRGB stays sRGB and Display P3 stays Display P3 — while EXIF and GPS metadata are stripped by default for safer sharing.

### Can QuickPix compress new images as they arrive?

With Pro's folder watching, pick a folder and anything dropped into it is compressed as it arrives — built for designers and teams receiving assets via Dropbox, Slack or Finder.
