FileMelt Shrink Files
Compress PDF, Image, & Video
Only for Mac
$1.99
Mac
Shrink files privately on your Mac.
FileMelt helps reduce the size of videos, audio files, PDFs, images, Office documents, code assets, individual files, and folders — without sending them to a cloud service.
Drop in your files, choose how you want to process them, and let FileMelt pick a format-aware strategy. It can optimize supported formats while keeping their original type, convert files only when you choose a conversion output, or create ZIP and TAR archives when Archive mode is selected.
Features
Local file processing by design
Format-aware optimization for supported file types
Keep formats when possible: MP4, PDF, JPG, DOCX, and more
Archive folders or mixed files as ZIP or TAR
Presets for Maximum Quality, Balanced, Smallest Size, and Target Size where supported
Receipts showing original size, final size, settings, and saved storage
Originals preserved by default
Larger or invalid optimized outputs are not kept
Finder service and drag-and-drop support
FileMelt does not claim every file will shrink. Some files are already compressed, unsupported, or unsafe to reduce without changing format. In those cases, FileMelt reports the result clearly so you know what happened.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
FileMelt 1.1.2 improves safety and metadata control when optimizing files. Office documents now preserve embedded image metadata by default unless metadata stripping is selected, Save As respects the Replace Only If Smaller setting when targeting an existing file, and ZIP archive creation now fails safely when an archive would require ZIP64 support instead of producing invalid output.
