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 3.3.3
- Aspect ratio and smart crop for pipelines, catching
up with what the
clop cropcommand could already docrop(aspectRatio: 16:9)trims to a shape rather than a pixel size (4:3,1:1,1.91:1and the like). It crops at the file's own resolution, so it stacks with a pixel crop.crop(smartCrop: true)keeps the most interesting part of the frame instead of the centre. Works on any crop.A file already at the requested size or shape is left alone instead of re-encoded.
- Dragging files could freeze Clop for 30 seconds or more when macOS was slow to hand over the dragged items
- Converted images in a pipeline could come out many times larger than
expected when no

optimiseand they hand the compression over to it, so the file is still only encoded once either way. .aifaudio,.tifimages and other alternate spellings of a format's extension were ignored by watched folders- Downscale size field in the Photos settings can be clicked and typed into, not just reached with Tab
- Add to shelf works with the trial version of Yoink (the button only appeared for the App Store and Setapp copies)

Version: 2.8.7
I downloaded Clop after rave reviews, bought the pro version, loaded it onto my macbook pro m4, and the problem started there. While i could drag and drop videos to a dropzone to be optimised, i could access no other functionality to customise the use. I contacted the developer who gave me a few things to try, which did not work. He refused to help me trouble shoot any further. Had he ****isted me, i would have bought 15 to 30 more apps for my staff in my media company to use, but that wont be happening.

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.

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.
