Levati

Images and videos, smaller on their own.

Levati lives in your Mac's menu bar. New screenshots, photos and videos get smaller the moment they land on your desktop, a typical screenshot by 90 percent. Everything stays on your Mac, and every original comes back with one click.

Screenshots

One screenshot: 1.22MB becomes 146KB.

That's a typical MacBook Pro screenshot before and after. Levati halves the Retina resolution and then repacks the PNG, without a difference you can see.

Engines

Three engines, one for each format.

Levati doesn't use one compressor for everything. Each format gets the engine that gains the most there. If there's nothing to gain, the file stays as it is.

  • PNG

    pngquant and oxipng

    For screenshots, where Levati gains the most: fewer colors where nobody can tell, then repacked losslessly. With half resolution, a typical screenshot gets 90 percent smaller.

  • JPG

    jpegli

    For photos. They are already compressed, so there's less to gain: about 10 percent at the same quality, and only for photos from a high-quality source. All others stay untouched, a second pass only costs quality.

  • MOVMP4

    Media Engine

    For videos, through AVFoundation right on the Apple chip: Share in H.264, Small in HEVC, or a target size in MB that is never exceeded.
