Formato
Fast image format converter
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Convert images without opening an app. Formato lives in your menu bar — drag, drop, and export to six formats instantly.
Formato is the fastest way to convert images on your Mac.
It lives quietly in your menu bar — no Dock clutter, no bloated window. Click the menu bar icon, drop your images onto the panel, pick a format, and convert. That's it.
Because Formato is built entirely on Apple's own Image I/O engine, every conversion happens right on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded to a server, nothing is tracked, and it works completely offline.
CONVERT TO ANY OF THESE FORMATS
• PNG — lossless, perfect for graphics and transparency
• JPEG — small files for photos and sharing
• HEIC — modern, space‑saving Apple format
• TIFF — high‑quality archival images
• GIF — simple graphics and animations
• BMP — uncompressed bitmap
DESIGNED TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY
• Drag & drop straight from Finder — the panel stays open while you drag
• Or click the drop area to pick files the usual way
• A clean queue with thumbnail previews, per‑item remove, and Clear All
• A quality slider for lossy formats (JPEG and HEIC) so you control the size‑vs‑quality trade‑off
• Converted files are saved right next to the originals, keeping their names with the new extension
FAST, NATIVE, PRIVATE
• 100% native Swift and SwiftUI — light, quick, and right at home on macOS
• No third‑party libraries, no ads, no accounts
• Your images never leave your Mac
Built‑in help walks you through every step, and a quick About panel keeps version info one click away.
Convert up to 5 images per batch for free. Stop hunting for sketchy online converters — keep your images private and convert them locally with Formato.
Requires macOS 13.0 or later.

Fixed an issue where converting images did nothing — converted files now reliably save to your Downloads folder.
