Feather 2 is here. We rebuilt Feather from the ground up, around one idea: your files should get smaller, and stay yours. PRIVACY AT THE CORE Feather removes the private data hidden in your files, such as location, author, camera serial numbers and edit history, and shows per file exactly what it took out. Still no account, no upload and no network access. SMALLER AT THE SAME QUALITY • A new image engine, measured at equal visual quality: photos 16 % smaller than TinyPNG, screenshots and icons a third smaller than Feather 1. • Best format weighs JPEG, WebP, AVIF and PNG against each other and keeps the smallest. Colours stay true, including Display P3 photos from your iPhone. • HDR photos from your iPhone stay HDR where they are shown, in HEIC, JPEG and AVIF. • Every result tells you what happened and why, in one line, with more behind a click. NEW: VIDEO • MOV and MP4 re-encoded with your Mac's hardware encoder, in HEVC or H.264, with location and camera details removed. • Turn a MOV into an MP4 that plays everywhere. HDR videos from your iPhone stay HDR. NEW: DOCUMENTS • The images inside PowerPoint, Word and Excel files, Keynote, Pages and Numbers, and OpenDocument get smaller; author, dates and other private data come out. • Photos in a PDF keep the resolution their size on the page needs: 150, 220 or 300 ppi. Scanned books with JPEG 2000 images and print PDFs with CMYK images get smaller too. MORE CONTROL • Three modes: Lossless, Lossy and Best format, and pick another format per file afterwards • Hold ⌥ while you drop to choose the mode and destination for just those files • Your own maximum size and formats, file name rules, whole folders, greyscale PDFs • Free presets for a website, slides and documents, and avatars: resized to what each one needs • Settings redone: one tab per kind of file, and your presets in a list FEATHER PRO, ONE PURCHASE • Prepare for Instagram, Threads, LinkedIn, X, Bluesky, TikTok and four more: photos and videos at the size each one shows, under its upload limit • Prepare for Figma, Miro, Mural, Canva and Notion (already yours if you used Feather before) • Fit under any file size, from 500 KB to 100 MB • Your own presets with a name, for photos, videos or both • A watermark: your name or logo on photos and videos • Watch a folder: new screenshots and exports are compressed as they arrive, with Feather in the menu bar NEW: SHORTCUTS AND SPOTLIGHT • Six actions for Shortcuts and Spotlight: prepare files for a destination, make them smaller than a size, convert videos to MP4, remove private data, add a watermark, or compress them • Results are saved where Feather's Save to says, and passed on to the next step of a shortcut AT HOME ON YOUR MAC A native macOS app with Finder Quick Action and Services menu. Runs on macOS 15 and later, in 11 languages, with VoiceOver support. Also available: Feather for Figma.
