Convert files
without handing them over.

The Mac file converter that never uploads anything. Images, video, audio, PDFs. All converted locally, instantly, and privately. Built for people who'd rather not send their files to a stranger's server.

One-time purchase Free tier included No subscription
Native macOS app

A real Mac app, not a web upload. Drag in a file, choose an output format or a fit-to-size preset, and convert. This 2 GB 4K clip never left the Mac.

Built for the moments
when seconds matter.

You dropped a 40 MB screen recording into Slack and got "file too large." You need to email a PDF that's just over the limit. You're trying to open an MKV in QuickTime. Convertible handles all of these in seconds, locally, without uploading.

🎯

Customizable size presets

One click to fit files under Email, Discord, iMessage, WhatsApp, or Web. Now fully editable: tweak the max size, dimension, and quality of each pill, reorder them, or create your own.

Convert from anywhere

Drag a file from Finder, Safari, Mail, or Messages, or skip the app entirely. As of 1.1.1, right-click in Finder for Convert File in Quick Actions, or trigger it from Spotlight and Shortcuts.

🔒

Everything stays local

Your files never leave your Mac. No cloud uploads, no telemetry, no tracking. The app works completely offline.

Lives in your menu bar

Always one click away. See recent conversions, quick-convert the clipboard, and access settings from any app.

🎨

Compress without converting

Have a 35 MB PDF for email? Shrink it to 10 MB while keeping it a PDF. Output is never larger than the original. Convertible rates severity (Minimal → Significant) so you know what to expect before committing.

🧩

Formats Apple forgot

MKV, WebM, FLAC, OGG: the formats QuickTime refuses to touch. Convertible handles them all without bloat.

🏷️

Honest quality badges

Every output option is labeled Lossless, Near-lossless, or Lossy, with a plain-English reason on hover. If a "lossless" video copy has to fall back to re-encoding, the row says so. No silent quality loss.

🎚️

Real video quality control

The quality slider now reaches the video engine. Dial it in for an honest transcode via VideoToolbox (H.264, H.265, or VP9 for WebM) instead of a stream copy that ignores your setting.

🎙️

Extract audio, stays on your Mac

Pull the audio track from any video as MP3, AAC, WAV, or FLAC. Perfect for feeding recordings into local transcription tools like Whisper. Since everything runs on-device, your audio never touches a server.

1.1 · 100% local

It fits into your workflow. Right-click any file in Finder, or reach for Spotlight, the Services menu, or a Shortcut. Convertible's Convert File action runs entirely on your Mac.

New in 1.1.1

Convertible, everywhere on your Mac.

The new "Convert with Convertible" App Intent is here. Right-click a file in Finder and pick it from Quick Actions, find it in Spotlight, or drop it into Shortcuts to convert on a schedule, from a hotkey, or inside a Folder Action. Select a file, choose a preset, and convert without ever opening the app.

Watch the full walkthrough: a Finder right-click, a Spotlight search, and a Shortcut, each converting on-device.

Every format you need,
nothing you don't.

Convertible handles the formats people actually use: the ones you get from phones, cameras, the web, and your coworkers. Convert any input to any valid output.

Answers to the
questions you'll ask.

What file formats does Convertible support?
Convertible supports images (PNG, JPG, HEIC, WebP, TIFF, BMP, GIF), video (MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, M4V), audio (MP3, AAC, M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG), and PDF. Image conversions are free and unlimited. Video, audio, and PDF conversions require the Pro upgrade, a one-time $9.99 purchase.
Is Convertible free?
Convertible offers unlimited free image conversions and compression presets. Video, audio, and PDF conversions are available with the Pro upgrade for a one-time payment of $9.99. There is no subscription.
Does Convertible upload my files to the cloud?
No. Convertible processes every file locally on your Mac. No files are ever uploaded to any server. The only network call the app makes is to Apple StoreKit when you purchase Pro.
How do I convert HEIC to JPG on Mac?
Open Convertible, drag and drop your HEIC file, select JPG as the output format, and click Convert. The conversion happens on-device in seconds. No upload, no account required. For a longer walkthrough, see the HEIC to JPG guide.
Can Convertible convert MKV to MP4 on Mac?
Yes. Convertible converts MKV to MP4 or MOV using Apple VideoToolbox for hardware acceleration. When the source uses H.264 or H.265, it can remux without re-encoding, so the conversion is near-instant and lossless. This is a Pro feature. See the MKV to MP4 guide for details.
Can I extract audio from a video file on Mac?
Yes. Convertible extracts the audio track from any supported video and exports it as MP3, AAC, M4A, WAV, FLAC, or OGG. Everything runs on your Mac, which makes it well-suited for transcription workflows with local tools like MacWhisper.
Does Convertible work offline?
Yes. Convertible works 100% offline. No internet connection is required for any file conversion. The only network call the app ever makes is to Apple's App Store when you purchase Pro.
What macOS version do I need?
Convertible requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. It runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
How is this different from macOS Quick Actions?
macOS has a built-in "Convert Image" Quick Action, but it only handles PNG, JPG, and HEIC. Convertible covers a lot more: video (MKV, WebM, MP4, MOV), audio (MP3, FLAC, etc.), PDF compression, and fit-to-target size presets. As of 1.1.1, the "Convert with Convertible" App Intent puts all of that in Finder's right-click Quick Actions menu, so the formats Apple skipped end up one right-click away too.
Can I trigger conversions from outside the app?
Yes, as of version 1.1.1. The "Convert with Convertible" App Intent exposes conversion to Shortcuts, Spotlight, and Finder's right-click Quick Actions, so you can convert files on a schedule, from a hotkey, inside a Folder Action, or as a step in a larger automation. Pick a file, choose a preset, and it converts without opening the app. Drag-and-drop into the window or menu bar still works too.
Is it really a one-time purchase?
Yes. $9.99 once, yours forever. You'll get free updates to version 1.x, including bug fixes, new features, and format additions. No subscription, no hidden paywalls. If we ever release a major new version like 2.0 down the road, existing customers will get a generous upgrade discount.
What's in the free tier vs Pro?
The free tier includes unlimited image conversions and all compression presets, forever, no expiry. Batch conversion (dragging multiple files at once) is Pro-only. Pro unlocks unlimited video, audio, and PDF conversions. Free users get 3 video/audio conversions and 5 PDF conversions per month as a taste.
Can I request a new format?
Absolutely. Email hello@getconvertible.app with your use case. New formats added to version 1.x are included in your purchase.
Is my data sold or tracked?
Never. Convertible has no analytics SDKs, no telemetry, and no third-party tracking. Crash reports only come through Apple's MetricKit system, and only if you've explicitly opted in at the OS level. Your files stay on your Mac.
