Clop overview
Clop helps you to copy large, paste small, send fast.
Features
- Optimise images as soon as you copy them — As long as the Clop app is running, every time you copy an image to your clipboard, Clop will optimise it to the smallest possible size. The optimised image will have minimal to zero loss in quality, and will be ready to paste in any app.
- Screen recordings as small as screenshots — Sending screen recordings becomes 10x faster with Clop. The app will optimise the video as soon as you stop recording. The video will be available as a floating thumbnail, ready for you to drag and drop in any app. Clop can use Apple Silicon's dedicated Media Engine chip for battery-efficient video encoding without using the CPU.
- Downscale in a pinch — Get images and videos ready for sharing by scaling them down to any resolution. Use handy hotkeys or the floating buttons to downscale the image or video and get an even smaller file size.
- Power user features — (A) On-demand optimisation; (B) Compatible formats (converting less compatible formats like HEIC, tiff, mov to formats understood by most devices); (C) macOS Shortcuts integration.
What’s new in version 2.6.0
New
- Side-by-side comparison — You can now compare images, videos and PDFs side by side to see the difference between the original and the optimised version.
- Optimised file location — There is now a way to set where the optimised files will be placed.
- Flexible template paths for the --output CLI — When using commands like clop optimise --output , the output path now uses the new templating engine.
Features
- Use the new Jpegli perceptive encoder from Google for even smaller JPEG images
- Update ffmpeg to version 7.0 for better video encoding
- Allow configuring the location where Clop stores temporary files and backups and when to clean up files
- Allow disabling floating results UI
- The global Ctrl-Shift-P hotkey can now toggle between: (A) Running: Clop is listening to clipboard and file events; (B) Paused: Clop is paused for the next clipboard/file event and will resume automatically; (C) Stopped: All automatic optimisations are stopped until manually resumed by user.
Improvements
- Add --adaptive-optimisation and --no-adaptive-optimisation options to CLI commands that can act on images
- Speed up PNG optimisation by using pngquant's --speed 3 option
- Improve EXIF metadata handling when optimising images and videos
- Detect files that are in progress of being created/modified and wait for the operation to settle before optimising
Fixes
- Fix --downscale-factor parsing on clop optimise CLI
- Fix automation not triggering shortcuts for videos and PDFs
- Fix: if a previously optimised file was replaced with a new file, an old backup was being used for optimisations instead of the new file
- Fix creation/modification date not being preserved for videos

Version: 2.5.3
The best optimizer on Mac for even all my files, works great for all kind of files and the shortcuts automation and the integration with other well know apps make it unique. Really saved me a ton on time making my uploads lighter and fast to send, totally recommend it to all make user, a must have Mac hack.

Version: v2.2.1
There are a lot of image optimizers and compressors out there, but until now, in my experience, the venerable ImageOptim had no real contenders. Having used Clop for just half an hour, I discovered that this is the first app that matched and surpassed my old-time favorite tool and allowed me to work faster and easier. The developers of Clop have been very friendly in responding to my support and feature request queries. All in all, definitely try this one, and you may find it to be your new image compressing tool, just like I did.
