@imnogeekAJ Thank you! If you have any feedback, feel free to email me :)

@picmalapp Been enjoying the app! Thanks for the very handy utility.

˗ˏˋ NEW FEATURE ˎˊ˗ Picmal now optimizes images the moment you copy them. 📋 As soon as something hits your clipboard, it gets compressed automatically. A small overlay appears so you can instantly grab the lighter version and keep working without breaking your flow.

If you want to know how to activate this, you can simply go to the documentation: #finder-services-right-click-menu" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">picmal.app/docs/integrati…

Picmal is integrated with Finder, allowing you to access certain services by right-clicking on any supported file.

Together with this, I've created two ready-made shortcuts to get you started: 🔄 Convert: icloud.com/shortcuts/00bf… 🗜️ Compress: icloud.com/shortcuts/1656…

🥳 Now Picmal is on Apple's Shortcuts app! Unlock two powerful actions - convert and compress - to streamline your workflows. 💡

Did you know you can add files to Picmal using these methods? 📂 Drag and drop them into the app window 🖥️ Drop them onto the dock icon 🔍 Use the menu bar icon, if enabled

One useful feature you can use with Picmal is watched folders. They allow Picmal to automatically process files as they appear in specific folders. 📁 Drop a file into a watched folder, and Picmal converts or compresses it without any manual steps. 🔄

In release 1.3.6, a user request was added for metadata handling during conversion: 🩹 Strip all: Removes all metadata for a smaller file size. 📁 Keep essential: Keeps orientation, color profile, and copyright. 🗂️ Keep all: Retains all original metadata. #PicmalTip

You can apply compression as part of the conversion: 1. Enable "Compress output" in convert mode in Settings. 2. Adjust the quality slider or pick a preset before converting. This allows you to change format and reduce file size in one step. #PicmalTip

This account seems a bit neglected, so it's time to start sharing what I've been developing in Picmal over the past few months 👀

Why Picmal is unique? - It's simple to use with default settings. - It's straightforward, no jargon—just follow the default options. - It integrates seamlessly like a Mac app. - It's private; everything stays on your computer, no internet needed.
