Morph

Drag a file, tap a key, drop it on the wheel.

Morph converts, shrinks and cleans up files right where they are, on your Mac, Windows PC, iPhone and Android. It's free, and nothing is ever uploaded.

Morph's own wheels and actions, drawn in your browser. Drag a file and tap a key, or tap a file on a phone. ⌘-click (Ctrl-click) picks several files. Nothing is uploaded or converted here.

On the Mac, the wheel comes to your cursor.

While you drag files from Finder, the desktop or any app, tap a wheel's keys. That wheel opens right under the cursor; drop on an action and the result appears next to the original.

  • ⇧Convert images, video, audio, documents and data to the format you need.
  • ⌘Tools compress, resize, strip location data, blur faces and read text.
  • ⌃Recipes run several steps in one drop, like resize and convert to WEBP.
  • ⌥Actions send with AirDrop, copy the path, move, or open Terminal there.

Tap another wheel's keys to switch mid-drag, or press Esc to close. Every key and combination can be changed in Settings.

  • ShiftConvert to the format you need.
  • CtrlTools compress, clean up, read text and codes.
  • AltActions share, copy, move, or open Terminal there.

Ctrl+Shift opens Recipes. Morph also sits in the taskbar corner, where you can drop files on its panel and undo any job, and it adds Open in Morph to File Explorer's right-click menu.

Nothing leaves your device

Originals stay untouched

Results are saved beside the original with a new name, never on top of it.

Any job can be undone

Morph keeps a history; undo moves that job's results to the Trash.

Fits any upload limit

Set a size like 200 KB and Compress makes a JPG that fits, for exam forms and job portals.

Your color

Teal Ink is Morph's own. Pick Ultramarine, Green, Magenta or Yellow in Settings instead.

Free, for good

No ads, no subscription and no account. Morph is open source.

Common questions

How do I convert HEIC photos to JPG?

Open the photo in Morph and choose JPG. On a Mac or Windows PC, start dragging the photo and tap Shift: the Convert wheel opens under your cursor, and the JPG lands beside the original. On iPhone and Android, share the photo to Morph or pick it in the app.

How do I compress a photo to 200 KB, 100 KB or 50 KB?

Set a size limit in Morph's Settings, from 20 KB to 5 MB or any size you type, then use Compress. Morph makes a JPG under the limit at the best quality that fits, which is what exam forms and job portals ask for.

Can Morph convert PNG to SVG, or SVG to PNG?

Yes, both ways. Any image can be traced into a real vector SVG, which works best for logos, icons and simple drawings, and an SVG can be turned into PNG, JPG, WEBP or PDF at a sharp size.

Does Morph upload my files?

No. Every conversion runs on your own device, and the apps make no network requests. There are no accounts, no ads and no tracking, and your originals are never changed.

Is Morph free?

Yes. Morph is free on every platform and open source under the MIT license, with nothing to unlock.
