Three compression levels
Size-first, Balanced, or Quality-first. Cap resolution at Original, 1080p, 720p or 480p. H.265 by default for smaller files.
Made for macOS
Make your videos smaller.
Nothing to install.
FramePress is a native macOS tool for compressing and converting videos. No extra software required—drag in a video to shrink it, or convert losslessly between MP4, MOV and MKV.
Features
Compress, convert, queue. One workbench.
Settings apply instantly. Resolution is a ceiling: it only shrinks, never upscales.
Lossless conversion in seconds
Switch between MP4, MOV and MKV without re-encoding. Zero quality loss—perfect when you only need a different format.
Drag in many, queue them up
Drop a whole batch and files queue automatically. Process 1–4 at a time with live per-task progress. History keeps track of sizes and savings.
Workbench
Queue on the left.

Controls on the right.
A slim icon rail switches between the workbench and history. Drop zone and task cards in the middle; output folder, quality, resolution and format on the right.
Settings apply instantly
Quality slider, resolution presets and output format live on the right—no extra dialogs to open.
Common formats
Import MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WebM and HEVC. Up to 8GB per file; multiple files queue automatically.
Resolution only shrinks
Pick 1080p and anything larger is capped; smaller videos stay untouched. It never upscales.
Workflow
Three steps. No fourth.
From drop to done, without leaving the window.
01
Drop files in
Drag videos into the zone, or browse for them. Files line up in the queue with thumbnails, duration, format and size.
02
Pick compress or convert
To compress: set quality, resolution cap and output format. To convert: pick a target format—it converts directly, with no quality change.
03
Start processing
The queue runs up to your concurrency limit. Watch live progress per task and overall completion. Review input/output sizes and savings in History.

FAQ
Let's clear a few things up.
How do I buy it, and how do I get the download?
Click any Buy button to go to Creem's secure checkout, which accepts major international credit and debit cards. You'll see the download link right after payment—the DMG is about 33MB.
Is it a one-time purchase or a subscription?
One-time purchase. $7, no subscription or annual fee. You own the current and future versions forever.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. Within 14 days of purchase, you can request a full refund for any reason.
Will I have to pay for future updates?
No. Your purchase covers all future updates, including 1.x major versions.
Do I need to install anything else?
No. Everything is built in—download and go, regardless of what else is on your Mac.
Does converting formats re-encode or lose quality?
No. Converting only changes the container (e.g. MP4 to MKV)—picture and audio stay identical. Use Compress when you want a smaller file.
Will choosing 1080p upscale my videos?
No. Resolution is a ceiling: videos above it are downscaled, and smaller ones stay as-is. FramePress never upscales.
What systems are supported?
macOS 14 or later. The current build is for Apple Silicon (M1 and newer). Intel Macs aren't supported yet.
