What it does

Pichi is a Mac app for quickly optimizing and resizing PNGs and JPEGs. We wanted to speed up our daily workflow by making image optimization faster. The UI is minimal and options kept to the bare minimum. Turn on the drag UI in the prefs and use the app when it's closed by holding a modifier when dragging images in Finder ⏱💪

Pichi for Mac is the best and quickest tool for optimizing and resizing your images individually or in batches.

When sharing or using images online, smaller always means faster. But it doesn’t mean they should look bad. Pichi works just as you expect – open it up and drag your images onto the window to start optimizing. But it’s got an even faster way to work. Even when it’s closed, Pichi detects when you’re dragging images and provides a lightning-fast way to optimize them, right where you need it. Images can take up a lot of space on a site, both visually and physically. If they haven’t been optimized or sized appropriately they’ll slow the site down, making for an unpleasant experience and potentially losing you money. Pichi can optimize and resize your images. It’ll compress them as much as it…from pichiapp.com

    I am a developer. I have been building stuff for the last 13 years. One common challenge in all my projects is compressing assets to make them as small as possible. I used to end up using online compressors, but this has a lot of privacy concerns. So, I finally set down for couple of weeks and built this simple app. I can just drag and drop assets in it and it shrinks them. It currently supports around 25 file types. I built a lot of iOS apps but this is the first time building a macOS app, so any feedback is welcome.
