Clop
Clop is a macOS utility that reduces the size of images, videos, PDFs, and clipboard content so files are easier to paste, share, and upload.
What is Clop?
Clop is a native macOS utility for optimizing images, videos, PDFs, and clipboard content to smaller file sizes without adding a complicated editing workflow. It is designed for people who regularly paste screenshots into chats, send screen recordings, attach PDFs to email, or prepare media for websites and documentation. The app can automatically optimize copied images and finished screen recordings while it runs, and it also supports drag-and-drop processing for files you want to shrink on demand. Clop includes tools for common media tasks such as downscaling, cropping, converting videos to GIF, and adjusting playback speed. It works as a focused helper app rather than a full editor, making it useful for everyday Mac productivity, content sharing, and lightweight media preparation. Clop is published by THE LOW-TECH GUYS SRL.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Clop is legitimate Mac utility software whose file optimization and clipboard features are consistent with its purpose. It may need access to clipboard content and screen recordings you create in order to optimize them, so users should review its macOS privacy permissions the same way they would for any media or clipboard helper app. Keep it updated and grant only the permissions you want it to use.
Recommendation: Keep Clop if you use it to reduce file sizes for screenshots, recordings, PDFs, or copied images during daily work on your Mac. If you no longer use those optimization features, you can remove it like other apps, but doing so will stop its automatic clipboard and media-shrinking workflows.
