Everything you need to make images smaller.
One native app for the whole job: lossless compression by default, modern formats, conversion, reusable profiles, and automation — all 100% on your Mac.
Lossless by default
ImageForge rewrites your images smaller without ever touching quality — using the best lossless tool for each format. Lossy is always an explicit, informed choice, never a silent default. Originals are handled exactly the way you tell it to.
Modern formats & RAW
PROGo beyond the classics. Compress and convert to WebP, AVIF and HEIC — with control over quality, effort and bit depth — and import RAW captures to convert them into shareable formats.
Reusable profiles
PRODial in per-format settings once, save them as a named profile, and reuse across every batch. Export and import profiles to share a house style across a team.
Format conversion
Turn a folder of PNGs into WebP, or HEIC into JPEG, with clear output naming and an honest signal of when a conversion is lossy versus lossless.
100% on your Mac
Nothing is ever uploaded. No account, no cloud, no telemetry. The Rust engine runs entirely on-device, so sensitive images never leave the machine — and it works fully offline.
Watch folders & automation
PROSet a folder to watch and ImageForge compresses every file the moment it lands — no clicks. A menu-bar item keeps quick actions one shortcut away, so optimizing becomes part of your workflow.
Seven formats. One engine.
As polished as ImageOptim — more capable.

Questions, answered.
Does compressing reduce image quality?
Not by default. Lossless mode produces a pixel-identical image at a smaller size. If you choose a lossy profile, you decide the quality — with a live preview before anything is written.
Are my images ever uploaded?
Never. All processing happens on your Mac with a local engine. There is no cloud, no account and no telemetry, and the app works completely offline.
What happens to my originals?
Whatever you choose: overwrite in place, keep a copy with a -min suffix, or write to a separate folder. ImageForge never destroys an original without explicit consent.
What is free versus Pro?
Free covers lossless JPEG/PNG/GIF/WebP/SVG, basic lossy, batch and metadata stripping. Pro (€24.99 once) adds unlimited custom profiles & per-format control, AVIF & HEIC output, RAW import & conversion, and watch folders with a menu-bar item.
