Zipic 1.9.5 for MacOS Download
Zipic is a native macOS application designed for efficient, high-quality image compression. It lets users shrink image files locally, with no uploads or dependency on the cloud. All processing happens on your own device—so your privacy and speed stay intact.
Key Features and Highlights:
- High Compression, Near-Lossless Quality: Zipic utilizes powerful compression algorithms to achieve a high compression ratio with minimal perceived quality loss, making the compressed image virtually indistinguishable from the original.
- Fast & Local Processing: Being a native macOS application, all image processing occurs locally on your device. This ensures lightning-fast performance, efficient handling of massive batches, and high data privacy with no cloud uploads or network dependence.
Comprehensive Format Support: The tool supports a wide range of formats, including basic ones like JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, and GIF, and Pro formats like AVIF, JXL, TIFF, and ICNS. - Effortless Workflow: It offers multiple simple compression methods, including drag-and-drop, folder monitoring, and Finder integration (right-click).
- Custom Control: Users can create custom presets for different quality levels and scenarios, allowing for precise control over the compression outcome.
- Pro Features for Automation: Advanced features include Clipboard auto-compress, Folder Watch for automated compression in specific directories, and integration options like Raycast Extension and Apple Shortcuts.
Zipic aims to be the seamless solution for developers, designers, bloggers, and photographers who need to optimize and compress images efficiently.
What’s New:
Version 1.9.5
New Features
- 7-day Pro free trial: unlock a full 7-day Pro trial in one click. Available from onboarding, the menu bar, Settings, and the Pro upgrade prompt.
zipic command-line tool: installs a single zipic command to /usr/local/bin. Compress images from the terminal, scripts, or AI assistants — same results as the GUI.
Bug Fixes
- Original timestamps preserved: fixed a long-standing bug where compressing to a subfolder or renamed output would reset the creation date to “now”, pushing photos to the top of your library. All output modes now keep the original timestamps.
- iPhone HDR to AVIF color fix: fixed a color regression when converting HDR gain-map photos to AVIF.
- Startup crash on cloud folders: monitoring iCloud or other large folders could stall startup for over 20 seconds and trigger a system watchdog kill. Now loads asynchronously in the background.
Other Improvements
- Help menu synced with docs: added entries for AI & CLI integration, the command-line tool, troubleshooting, and the affiliate program.
Compatibility: macOS 10.14 or late
