Clop
Shrinks images, videos and PDFs as you copy them
The verdict
Copy a huge screenshot and paste a much smaller file, or stop a screen recording and get it back already compressed, with Clop working in the background. It also shrinks PDFs and audio, and can squeeze a file under a set size when an email attachment keeps bouncing. Free ImageOptim handles images you drop on it by hand, while Clop needs macOS 14 or later and puts batch mode behind a €15 Pro license.
Get it if
You send screenshots, screen recordings and PDFs all day and keep hitting upload size limits.
Skip it if
You share a file once a week, and Preview can export a smaller image or PDF without another app.
