Drag. Hold. Done.
The conversion happens on your Mac. Your new file lands beside the original. No upload, no ads, no mystery download button.
Try the petal wheelNo internet required.
Convert local files on a flight, away from Wi-Fi, or whenever you prefer to stay offline.
Built for your Mac.
HEIC to JPG uses Apple’s native image technology. Images, PDFs and supported video workflows benefit from macOS technologies and Apple’s hardware encoders.
A tool you own.
One purchase puts the converter on your Mac, ready for the next file. Your originals stay untouched.
Local file conversion works offline after activation. Reconnect at least once every 30 days to refresh your license automatically. Link downloads and updates also need a connection.

Twenty tools
More than conversion. Quietly powerful.
Trim a clip, crop a photo, shrink a PDF or read a QR code without opening another app. Each tool does one thing, beautifully.
Trim Video & Audio
Drag the ends, preview, apply. Cuts are frame-accurate, and audio can trim its own silence.
Freeform
Crop
Square, 16:9, 9:16 or freeform, with live pixel dimensions. Works on photos and video.

Compress
Smaller images, video, audio and PDFs. If a file is already as small as it can get, PinnaPetta tells you instead of making a copy.

Questions
Does PinnaPetta upload my files?
No. File conversion and editing run on your Mac without uploading your files. Link downloads connect to the source platform to retrieve the media; license activation and its automatic 30-day refresh use a connection, as do optional update checks.
Which video links can I download?
Public YouTube videos and Shorts, X/Twitter video posts, TikTok videos, and Instagram posts and Reels. Choose MP3 for audio or MP4 for video up to 1080p. Live streams, private or sign-in-required videos, playlists and channel downloads aren’t supported. Multi-video posts save the first item, and platform restrictions can affect availability.
Where do link downloads go?
Choose a folder in the Download from Link window. Follow progress or cancel in Activity, then find your completed file there. Existing files aren’t overwritten.
Will it change my original files?
No. Results are always saved as new files, beside the original or in a folder you choose. If a name is taken, a number is added.
Which Macs does it run on?
Any Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or later, with native support for both Apple silicon and Intel.
Do I have to use the drag gesture?
Not at all. You can also drop files on the menu bar icon, use the main window, Finder’s Services menu, Open With, Shortcuts or Spotlight.
Can I change the keys?
Yes. Choose any combination of ⌃ ⌥ ⇧ ⌘ for conversions and for tools in Settings ▸ Gesture, or switch the gesture off.
Is it accessible?
Every action is reachable from the keyboard and VoiceOver through Choose Files (⌘O) and the main window. PinnaPetta respects Reduce Motion, Reduce Transparency and Increase Contrast.
