About DragConvert
Drag a file, flick a wheel, convert or edit it locally on macOS.
Drag a file in Finder, tap Shift, Option + Command, or Control + Command and choose a conversion, editing tool or file action without opening another app. The wheel stays open after you release the modifier, so you can move deliberately and drop when ready. Convert Images: JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF, AVIF, BMP Images → single PDF PDF → images, text, or Markdown Subtitles: SRT, VTT, TXT Archives: ZIP, TAR, GZIP Edit and Inspect Compress, crop, resize, rotate, redact Metadata editor PDF/A-2B export QR code reading PDF split, organize, compress, and metadata tools File Actions AirDrop Floating shelf Copy files Move files Copy path Open in Terminal Local by design. DragConvert is sandboxed with no network entitlement, no account and no telemetry. Results are written beside the original file with collision-safe naming. No uploads, no cloud conversion, no subscription. Built for macOS. Universal binary for Apple Silicon and Intel, macOS 13 or later. Built with Swift 6, SwiftUI/AppKit, ImageIO, PDFKit and Vision. Distributed as an ad-hoc-signed DMG and through Homebrew; notarization is the next packaging milestone. Open source under GPL-3.0-only.
