Just the tools you need

Built around your images.

One image, or a whole folder.

Drop in files or folders and process a batch together. Review the results and compare images without losing track of your originals.

Find your balance.

Six quality levels, from smaller files to higher fidelity. Start with the balanced Q3 setting, then fine-tune for the job.

On your Mac. In your hands.

Image processing happens locally, without uploading your files. Compressed results are saved separately, keeping originals safe.

Local image processing

Your workflow, remembered.

Start with Everyday, Web, or High Quality. Create as many presets as you need, export and import settings, or sync them with iCloud.

From full-size to ready-to-share

Three steps. That’s it.

    Bring your images.

    Drag files or folders into Slimage, or select them from Finder.

  2. 02

    Make it your own.

    Choose a preset. Adjust quality, output format, or dimensions for supported images.

  3. 03

A few things to know

Good questions.

The details, before you get started.

Get in touch
Do my images leave my Mac?

No images are uploaded for compression. Processing happens on your Mac. Optional iCloud sync shares supported settings and presets between your Macs, not your images.

Will Slimage replace my originals?

No. Results are saved as separate files. For ordinary compression, Slimage skips a result if it is not smaller. An explicitly requested resize or format conversion may produce a larger file.

Which formats are supported?

JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, JPEG XL, SVG, GIF, TIFF, and BMP. SVG and GIF are optimized at their original format and size. Eligible single-image TIFF files can be optimized; BMP requires format conversion. PDF and HDR/Gain Map images are currently skipped.

Can I save and share my settings?

Yes. Slimage includes three editable presets and lets you add your own without a preset limit. You can export and import configuration files, or enable iCloud configuration sync. Local folder permissions stay on each Mac.

What kind of Mac do I need?

Slimage requires macOS 14 or later and supports both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. A website download and a Mac App Store edition are planned; public downloads are not available yet.
