Features
- Conversions pane for auto conversion rules per folder
Pipeline based Automations that only have conversion steps have a Migrate to native conversion button
- Lossless JPEG XL and WebP conversion, a JPEG turned into JPEG XL can be turned back into the exact original
to JPEG-XL and Lossless JPEG-XL built-in pipelines, and
clop convert --lossless
Improvements
- HDR photos stay HDR when converted to JPEG XL
- JPEG XL conversions are smaller and faster, through the jixel encoder
- Transparent images are smaller when converted to AVIF or JPEG XL
- AV1 and WebM conversions are smaller
- PNGs come out smaller after an extra lossless pass
- HEIC conversions are smaller and use the macOS encoder
- Animated WebP files can be optimised, cropped and resized on Intel Macs
- JPEG XL, AVIF and WebP images copied to the clipboard paste into apps that can't read those formats
clopmoved into the app's Helpers folder, your link and agent configs migrate on first launch
Fixes
- Optimise with Clop from the Services menu no longer optimises the image on the clipboard when it can't read the selected file
- Image files that macOS doesn't let Clop read show Can't read file and the reason
- Pipelines with a
convertstep keep that format, later steps no longer convert the file again to JPEG or MP4 - Pipelines with a missing
)show the error instead of running with a step left out - Animated WebP files on Intel Macs are no longer turned into a single-frame JPEG
- Animated PNGs keep their animation when optimised
- Pipelines that only convert a video to HEVC, AV1, WebM or GIF no longer leave the result spinning after the file is done
- HEVC conversions work on Intel Macs, through the software encoder
- Converting audio to a larger format, like MP3 to FLAC, no longer leaves the original unconverted
- 16-bit grayscale PNGs with transparency keep their transparency when converted to AVIF
- AI agents asked to keep the original file through MCP now write the result next to it, instead of replacing the original
- Cropping a video to an aspect ratio that comes out at an odd size, like 9:16 from 720p, no longer fails
- PDF pipelines that extract pages as images after optimising now save the page images
- File name templates that end in the extension, like
%f-small.pdf, no longer givedoc-small.pdf.pdf - Pipelines and conversions for a watched folder also work when the folder is a symlink
- Pipeline filters by kind of file, like
if(types: image), now let those files through - Pipeline
renamesteps given a full path rename the file - Files from pipelines with a step that writes to the temporary folder keep their own name, without a
pipeline-…prefix - Pipeline results meant for the original's folder no longer land in Clop's cache after a step that used the temporary folder
removeAudiosteps written with parameters are no longer left out of the pipeline- JPEG XL files are read and written with libjxl 0.12, which fixes two security issues
- Downscaling and cropping WebP, AVIF, HEIC and JPEG XL images works when they aren't set to be converted
- Pipeline steps after
capFps,removeAudioor a speed change keep what those steps did, instead of starting again from the original video - Fixed a possible freeze when optimising an image in Desktop or Documents from the CLI, while macOS asks for access
- Fixed a possible freeze when using Optimise with Clop on a file that's still downloading or on a slow drive
- Fixed a possible freeze when copying photos from Photos that are stored in iCloud
- Fixed a possible freeze when opening the clipboard settings with many apps installed
- Fixed a possible crash when a pipeline step got an empty or damaged image
- Fixed a possible crash when settings synced from another Mac
- Fixed a possible crash when right-clicking the empty space in a list on macOS 27
