Rename tocompress
The filename is the command. Rename video.mov to video.25mb.mp4 — RenameTo converts it, shrinks it to 25 MB, and puts it right back. No app to open. Ever.

how-it-works
The missing feature of macOS.
If you can rename a file, you already know how to use it. Compress, convert, remove backgrounds, archive — right in Finder.
Type it into the name.
Add a word right before the extension — 25mb, nobg, 1080p, dated — and press Return. It disappears when the work is done.
New extension. New format.
photo.heic becomes photo.jpg. Video, image, audio, PDF — the new extension is the instruction.
rename to convertTwo jobs. One rename.
video.25mb.mp4 converts and compresses in a single pass. One result, ready to send.
video.mov → video.25mb.mp4
Quietly in the menu bar.
No windows. No queue. A small icon shows progress — recent jobs and restore-from-backup actions are right there.

commands
Every command. One page.
One word, right before the extension. This is the entire manual.
Compress
Hit any size target, or use a preset.
Shrink to ≤ N MB — any whole number works. Video and images.
Lighter preset. Video, images, and PDF.
Aggressive preset for when size beats quality. Video and images.
Resize

Cap the longest side. Also 720p and 480p. Video and images.
Scale proportionally. Also 25%. Images.
Clean up & organize
Privacy and order, one rename each.
Strip EXIF, GPS, XMP and IPTC. Pixels untouched. Images, PDF, video.
Remove the background on-device with Apple Vision. Outputs .png with transparency.
Prefix the file's real date (YYYY-MM-DD) from EXIF, PDF, or creation date.
Archive a file — or a whole folder.
Convert
Just change the extension. That's it.
Images: heic/heif ↔ jpg · png · tiff · bmp · gif · webp · avif.
Video: mov ↔ mp4 ↔ m4v (instant remux when possible), plus webm · mkv · avi · gif · mp3 · m4a.
PDF → one image per page. And any image → single-page PDF.
Audio: wav · m4a · aac · aiff · flac · mp3 · opus interconvert.
built-different
The original is backed up first.
Every job runs through a five-stage safety pipeline. Failed jobs roll back; completed jobs keep a restorable backup for Undo.
Backed up before a single byte moves
Stability check, backup, temp copy, atomic swap, journal — file safety is the product, not a feature.
File processing stays local
Your source files stay on your Mac. Network access is used for license validation, trial activation, and Sparkle update checks — never for file processing.
