Select a file in Finder and tap ⇧⌘. A ring opens at your pointer with only the formats that make sense. Point, click, saved.
Any photo, PDF, document, song or video in Finder. Or select fifty.
Just tap both keys and let go. The ring opens right where your pointer is.
The new file lands next to the original. The original is never touched.
The ring reads your file and shows only the formats it can actually become. You never scroll a list of twenty options.
Shrink keeps the format and saves name (smaller) next to the original. These are real results from our tests on the Balanced setting.
Crop, resize, rotate, mute, merge. All of them live in the same ring, so you never open another app.
1:1, 4:5, 16:9 or 9:16. Smart crop finds the subject and keeps it in frame.
Half size, 1080px for the web, 2048 or 4K. Your aspect ratio is kept.
Photos and PDF pages, upright in a tap.
Strip the audio. The video isn't re-encoded, so it's instant.
Select several, tap ⇧⌘, pick 1 PDF.
Everything runs on your Mac's own hardware and works offline. New files never overwrite: you get photo 2.jpg.
It's in Finder's Services menu.
Press ⌘Z on the check mark and the new file goes to the Trash.
Yes. Download it and convert as much as you like.
Tapformat isn't registered in Apple's paid developer program yet, so macOS asks you to confirm it the first time. Click Done, then open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. You only do this once, and updates install automatically after that.
macOS only lets an app notice a key tap made inside Finder if you allow it under Accessibility. Tapformat uses it to spot the ⇧⌘ tap and nothing else. It doesn't read or store what you type.
That's how it finds out which files you've selected when you tap ⇧⌘. macOS shows a one-time prompt for it.
Any Mac with Apple silicon or Intel running macOS 15 Sequoia or later.
Yes. In Settings you can switch to ⌥⌘ or ⌃⌥.
Select as many files as you like and tap ⇧⌘ once. The ring only offers formats every selected file supports, and several images can also become one PDF.
