- v3.6.7最新正式版2026-11-04 · 2026-11-04 09:35 UTC
Features
- HDR / SDR selector on the results of HDR photos and videos

- Convert HDR to SDR in the right-click menu works on HDR videos too
Fixes
- Fixed a possible freeze when dropping files from a slow drive or iCloud on the drop zone or a preset zone

Features
- Feedback window for reporting a problem by email or Discord, with debug info attached
Open it from Contact the developer in the menu bar menu or Settings > About, or with the clop.lowtechguys.com/feedback link or the
clop://feedbackURL


Fixes
- Fixed a possible crash when dropping files on the drop zone, mostly on macOS 13 with photos from Photos or attachments from Mail
- Fixed a possible freeze when an already optimised PDF sits on a slow or unreachable drive
- Fixed a possible freeze while the Convert image to… shortcut action converts a large image
- The output path of the Convert image to… shortcut action and of
clop convert -f … --outputno longer fails with Could not create output directory - A drop or a watched file no longer fails with nothing on screen when its output folder can't be created
- Pipeline step locations like
converted/%fsave next to the original file instead of failing - The
clop optimisecommand no longer replaces the original file when--behaviourissamefolderorspecificfolder
Improvements
- Folder templates that Clop can't write to, like
/Optimised/%f, get a warning under the field and buttons for a template that works

- Feedback window for reporting a problem by email or Discord, with debug info attached

Features
- Drive warnings in the watch path table for slow, network and read-only drives

Fixes
- Watch paths on an external drive no longer stop working when the drive is connected after Clop starts
- Fixed a possible freeze when starting to optimise a file on a slow or unreachable volume
- Fixed a possible freeze when selecting a watch path on a slow or unreachable drive

Features
- Also cleanup batch optimisation backups: the periodic cleanup deletes them too, instead of keeping them until you do
Fixes
- Fixed a possible freeze when optimising a video, stopping a result or opening the right-click menu, with files on a slow or unreachable volume
- Fixed a possible freeze when optimising or previewing the clipboard while the pasteboard server is slow to answer
- A batch optimisation's output folder gets the compressed files, not copies of the originals, when optimised files are set to Same folder as original or Specific folder

Optimise images as soon as you copy them
As long as the Clop app is running, every time you copy an image to your clipboard, Clop will optimise it to the smallest possible size.
The optimised image will have minimal to zero loss in quality, and will be ready to paste in any app.
Screen recordings as small as screenshots
Sending screen recordings becomes 10x faster with Clop. The app will optimise the video as soon as you stop recording.
The video will be available as a floating thumbnail, ready for you to drag and drop in any app.
Clop can use Apple Silicon's dedicated Media Engine chip for battery-efficient video encoding without using the CPU.
Downscale in a pinch
Get images and videos ready for sharing by scaling them down to any resolution.
Use handy hotkeys or the floating buttons to downscale the image or video and get an even smaller file size.
- - downscales incrementally from 90% until 10% of the original resolution
- 1..9 are for downscaling to specific sizes
Power user features
1. On-demand optimisation
Press Ctrl-Shift-C to manually optimise the current clipboard.
The action works on images, video files, paths, URLs, even base64 encoded images.
For more aggressive optimisation, Ctrl-Shift-A is also available.
2. Compatible formats
Clop automatically converts less compatible formats like HEIC, tiff, mov to formats understood by most devices.
The conversion is fully configurable from the app settings.
Original files are kept in a backup folder which can be accessed from the app menu.
3. macOS Shortcuts
Integrate Clop optimisation in your workflows through native macOS Shortcuts.
- Downscale and optimise images that you email weekly
- Download optimised images directly into your slideshow
- ..and so on
Free vs Pro
Free version features are free forever.
After the 14-day trial, the app will continue to work with the free features.

What's up with the hat?
Clop is the Romanian word for a traditional straw hat with a high crown and raised conical brim, worn more as an adorment in days of celebration.
We thought "Clipboard Optimizer" sounds a bit too technical and doesn't roll off the tongue as easily. We're Romanian ourselves and we thought it might be a good idea to keep the memory of our traditions from dying completely, with whatever little we can do.
