Smol
Shrink images, PDFs and videos on your Mac
Mac$29 once
The verdict
Smol compresses images, PDFs and videos on your Mac without sending them anywhere. It looks at what is in a photo, such as faces and text, to decide where detail stays, and it re-encodes video with H.265. That makes it handy for getting a 400 MB screen recording or a stack of photos under an email limit, with no file size caps or daily limits.
Get it if
You often hit email or upload size limits and want photos, PDFs and videos made smaller in one place.
Skip it if
You only squash a few PNGs now and then. ImageOptim does that for free.
What it helps you do
- Shrink a video to fit an email
- Cut PDF size with a quality preset
- Compress a folder of photos in bulk
- Strip location data before sharing images
