A native Mac app for compressing, converting, resizing, protecting, splitting and archiving files without uploading them.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

File Acture organizes PDF, image and archive work around a drag-in, choose-a-tool, save-new-files workflow. Its exact-size mode repeatedly re-encodes images inside PDFs until a requested limit is reached while preserving text and vector graphics, and the page gives a 36-page, 54 MB to 4.8 MB example. The free edition allows three runs per Mac and up to five files per run; Pro removes those limits and is described as usable on three Macs.
