Release notes / A work in progress

Small refinements.
Better, together.

New capabilities, thoughtful fixes, and the occasional fresh start. A record of the work.

Current release

Export workflows

  • Per-file size limits with minimum quality and clear feedback when a target cannot be reached.
  • Responsive WebP packs with custom widths, actual-width filenames, optional JPG fallbacks and copyable srcset.
  • Automatic previews with accurate encoded sizes, shared comparison zoom, a wipe and transparency backgrounds.
  • Direct Quality controls, lossless PNG status and explicit destinations with saved folder access.
  • Searchable batch history with Reveal outputs, Reuse settings, Run again and Retry unfinished. Cancellation retains completed work.
  • Compact layout, keyboard shortcuts and optional saved-preset conversion from Finder or the Dock.
  • Existing presets retain encoder quality, and earlier conversion history stays available.

Reliability update

  • Portrait photos from phones now keep their correct orientation when converted.
  • Max Width/Height now act as a cap only — smaller images are never upscaled.
  • Batch output filenames can no longer collide — duplicate names are uniquified safely instead of overwriting each other.
  • Saving a preset under an existing name now updates it in place instead of creating a duplicate.
  • Removed legacy built-in preset entries that conflicted with saved presets.
  • WebP files can now be selected in the file picker (drag-and-drop already worked).
  • Resize dimensions above 32,767 px are no longer misread as "Auto".
  • Faster repeat processing — the conversion engine is now reused between runs.
  • Stability and memory-safety improvements in the WebP encoder.

Usability update

  • Folder imports now default to top-level files only (subfolder recursion is opt-in).
  • Version and download links updated to point to the latest DMG release.
  • New signed and notarized direct-download package for this release.

Looking ahead On the workbench

There’s more to make.

AVIF, metadata controls, watch folders, and CLI or Shortcuts support are ideas we’re exploring. These are future candidates, rather than features included in the current app.
