Morph

Drag a file, tap a key, drop it on the wheel.

Morph converts, shrinks and cleans up files right where they are, on your Mac, Windows PC, iPhone and Android. It's free, and nothing is ever uploaded.

macOS 14 or later, Apple Silicon and Intel.

Try it: press Shift, Command, Control or Option, or tap a key above.

On the Mac, the wheel comes to your cursor.

While you drag files from Finder, the desktop or any app, tap a wheel's keys. That wheel opens right under the cursor; drop on an action and the result appears next to the original.

  • ⇧Convert images, video, audio, documents and data to the format you need.
  • ⌘Tools compress, resize, strip location data, blur faces and read text.

  • ⌥Actions send with AirDrop, copy the path, move, or open Terminal there.

Tap another wheel's keys to switch mid-drag, or press Esc to close. Every key and combination can be changed in Settings.

Morph keeps a history; undo moves that job's results to the Trash.

Set a size like 200 KB and Compress makes a JPG that fits, for exam forms and job portals.
