"It's a Mac-assed Mac App. Focused, customizable, flexible, well designed and super fast. 10+ times a day I need to convert a file for use on a website. Picmal makes that process a joy . My favorite conversion is taking a multipage PDF and converting each page to an individual image with one click (something even Preview can't do). "

" I love the app! I use it 4-5 days a week for audio and image conversion as I tag and add missing album artwork to my library of 70,000 songs. After that is done, I would like to try it out with my Blu-ray collection on Plex. I truly appreciate the hard work that goes into creating and frequently updating an app such as this. All the best!"

"I use Picmal to convert images. It works perfectly . I can just leave the Picmal window open on my desktop. Whenever I want to convert an image, I drag the file onto the window and click “convert”—and seconds later, the converted file is in the appropriate folder with the suffix “converted.” It couldn’t be easier or more hassle-free!"

How do I extract audio from a video on my Mac?

Drop the video into Picmal, pick an audio format like MP3 or M4A as the output, and click Convert. Picmal keeps the audio track and drops the video, saving just the sound as a new file. It all runs on your Mac.

What formats can I save the audio as?

MP3 and M4A/AAC for everyday use, WAV or AIFF for uncompressed audio, and FLAC or ALAC when you want lossless. You can also target Opus for the smallest speech files or M4B for audiobooks.

Does it work with iPhone videos and .mov files?

Yes. Drop in .mov clips from your iPhone, or MP4, MKV, WebM, AVI and more. Picmal reads the video and writes out the audio track in whatever format you choose.

Can I pull the audio from a YouTube video?

Picmal works with the video files you already have on your Mac, it doesn't download from YouTube. Once a clip is saved to your Mac, drop it in and Picmal extracts the audio.

Can I extract audio from a whole batch of videos at once?

Yes. Drag in several clips or an entire folder and Picmal pulls the audio from all of them in one pass, each saved as its own file.

Does extracting the audio lose quality?

Save to a lossless format like FLAC or WAV and the audio is bit-for-bit identical to the source track. Save to MP3 or M4A and you can pick a high bitrate that's effectively transparent.

Are my videos uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens locally on your Mac. No uploads, no per-file limits, nothing leaves your machine. It's a one-time $15.99, not a subscription.
