Distill with eight files: photos, a video, a sound file, a PDF and a document, each showing its size after converting

See it before you convert

Most converters make you guess. Distill does the work in the background and shows you the answer first.

A size for every file

Each file shows what it will weigh afterwards, measured by converting it for real – not guessed.

Pixel for pixel

Slide between the original and the result at full resolution, and judge the quality with your own eyes.

Three honest choices

Smallest, Balanced or Best quality – each showing what your whole batch would weigh.

Fits under any limit

25 MB for Gmail, 10 MB for Discord, or a size you type. Distill lowers quality first, then pixels – never more than it has to.

Made for batches

Drop in a hundred files and send all your photos to one format with a click. Video is encoded by your Mac's own media engine.

Private by design

Your files never leave your Mac. No account, no uploads, no tracking. One switch removes location and camera details.

308 MB in. 80 MB out.

A real batch: a 26-megapixel photo, a six-minute video, a WAV recording and more – converted in one go.

A finished batch, each file showing how much smaller it became — Every result says what it saved.

Comparing the original photo with the compressed one, split by a handle — 10.4 MB became 733 KB. Can you tell which side is which?

A 25 MB size limit set on the Gmail mark of the ruler — Set a limit; every file fits under it.

The empty Distill window in dark mode while files are dragged over it — Drop anything – on the window or the Dock icon.

One app for every format

Keep the format and make it smaller, or turn it into something else.
