Clop

Clop is the go-to app for anyone who works with images and wants to make their files smaller without much fuss. There are two types of folks when it comes to images: some want the best quality possible, while others just want tiny file sizes. If you’re in the latter group, Clop has got you covered!

Easy Image Compression

This small app quickly compresses JPG, PNG, and GIF files. The cool part? You don’t have to change your routine at all! Just copy your image to the clipboard, and Clop does its magic right away. You can then paste your compressed image anywhere you like.

How It Works

Just a heads up—make sure you’re copying the image itself, not the file. For example, open your image in Preview and hit Cmd+C. It works smoothly in any image editor too!

File Size vs. Quality

If keeping your files small is your main goal, Clop is fantastic! But keep in mind that this will affect image quality. Clop uses tools like pngquant for PNGs, jpegoptim for JPGs, and gifsicle for GIFs. Normally these tools let you adjust quality settings, but Clop doesn't offer that option.

Simplistic Settings

You can tweak a few settings from the menu bar if you want. For instance, you can choose to hide notifications about how much an image was compressed or even disable TIFF data optimization. You can also remove the app’s icon from your menu bar if it’s taking up space.

Your Best Bet for Quick Compression

In a nutshell, Clop is perfect for anyone who copies images to their clipboard regularly and wants the smallest file size possible. If quality matters more to you than size, though, you might want to look into other compression tools that give you more options.
