The app will optimise the video as soon as you stop recording.\n\nThe video will be available as a **floating thumbnail**, ready for you to **drag and drop** in any app.\n\nClop can use Apple Silicon's dedicated **Media Engine chip** for battery-efficient video encoding without using the CPU.\n\n## Downscale in a pinch\n\nGet images and videos ready for sharing by scaling them down to any resolution.\n\nUse handy hotkeys or the floating buttons to downscale the image or video and get an even smaller file size.\n\n* \u003ckbd\u003e-\u003c/kbd\u003e downscales incrementally from 90% until 10% of the original resolution\n* \u003ckbd\u003e1\u003c/kbd\u003e..\u003ckbd\u003e9\u003c/kbd\u003e are for downscaling to specific sizes\n\n## Power user features\n\n### 1. On-demand optimisation\n\nPress `Ctrl`-`Shift`-`C` to manually optimise the current clipboard.\n\nThe action works on *images*, *video* files, *paths*, *URLs*, even base64 encoded images.\n\nFor more aggressive optimisation, `Ctrl`-`Shift`-`A` is also available.\n\n\n### 2. Compatible formats\n\nClop automatically **converts** less compatible formats like `HEIC`, `tiff`, `mov` to formats understood by most devices.\n\nThe conversion is fully configurable from the app settings.\n\nOriginal files are kept in a backup folder which can be accessed from the app menu.\n\n\n### 3. macOS Shortcuts\n\nIntegrate Clop optimisation in your workflows through **native macOS Shortcuts**.\n\n- Downscale and optimise images that you email weekly\n- Download optimised images directly into your slideshow\n- ..and so on\n\n\n## Free vs Pro\n\nFree version features are free **forever**.\n\nAfter the **14-day trial**, the app will continue to work with the free features.\n\n\n| Feature | Clop Pro | Free version |\n|---------|----------|--------------|\n| Clipboard optimisation | ✅ | ✅ |\n| Downscale images | ✅ | ✅ |\n| Optimise screen recordings | ✅ | 5 per session |\n| Optimise screenshot files | ✅ | 5 per session |\n| On-demand optimisation | ✅ | 5 per session |\n| Shortcuts support | ✅ | 5 per session |\n\n\n## Technical details\n\nClop uses the following open source tools for optimising files, images and videos:\n\n* `pngquant` for PNG\n* `jpegoptim` for JPEG\n* `gifsicle` for GIF\n* `ffmpeg` for videos\n* `libvips` for resizing images\n* `gifski` for converting videos to GIFs\n* `ghostscript` for optimising PDFs\n\nIt may also use `libvips` for resizing images if it is installed on your system.\n\nThe app is licensed under [GPLv3](https://github.com/FuzzyIdeas/Clop/blob/main/LICENSE).\n\n## What's up with the hat?\n\n*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.\n\nWe thought *\"**Cl**ipboard **Op**timizer\"* sounds a bit too technical and doesn't roll off the tongue as easily.
