Clop Pro — Mac download

You finish a layout in Sketch, select the artboard, and hit ⌘C. Instead of a massive PNG landing on your clipboard, Clop Pro hands back a compressed version ready to paste into Slack. No export dialog, no extra step.

1. Copy as usual. Grab an image from Preview, a video from the Finder, or a PDF page. The standard macOS copy command triggers the optimization.
2. Clop compresses in the background. The app reduces the file size while keeping the original quality visually intact. A brief notification confirms the new, smaller item is on your clipboard.
3. Paste the optimized result. Use ⌘V in Mail, Keynote, or a chat window. You get a lightweight file that loads fast and takes up less space.
4. Integrate with Shortcuts. Call Clop from a Shortcut to batch-process copied items for a folder-watching routine or a custom publishing flow.

It sits next to tools like Dropshare or Yoink in a Mac setup—not as a clipboard manager, but as a compression layer that trims file sizes between copy and paste. Use it when you routinely share screenshots, mockups, or video clips and want to skip manual export presets.

A real workflow: screenshot-heavy bug report

Imagine you have to file a detailed bug report with ten annotated screenshots. Normally, each capture lands as a multi-megabyte file that bloats the issue tracker. Here is a tight Clop Pro routine:

• Capture and copy. Use ⇧⌘4, select the area, and hold Control while releasing the mouse. The screenshot goes straight to the clipboard—Clop immediately crunches it.
• Paste one by one into a draft. In Apple Notes or TextEdit, ⌘V each optimized shot. No file-save dialogs, no Finder clutter.
• Record a short clip. Hit ⇧⌘5 for a screen recording. Clop auto-optimizes the video on copy, so dragging the .mov into the report bypasses HandBrake entirely.
• Attach the final batch. Select all optimized images from the note and drag them into the ticket. The total attachment size is a fraction of the originals, and no temporary export folder was ever created.

The workflow cuts out Preview’s export, ImageOptim, and the Finder completely. A single copy-and-paste rhythm handles everything.

Clipboard Managers and Screen-Recording Audio Compatibility

Does it replace my clipboard manager? No. Clop Pro works alongside Maccy, Paste, or Raycast’s clipboard history. It compresses the content while a manager records the history. Install both and they do not collide.

What about screen recordings with audio? Audio tracks are preserved. The app optimizes the video stream only, so voiceovers and system sounds remain intact in the compressed copy.

Can I pause it for a single copy? Yes. Hold the Option key while copying and Clop skips compression for that one item. Useful when you need the original bit depth or exact file hash.

Will I notice a delay? On Apple Silicon, a screenshot pops the notification in under a second. Larger videos take a few seconds, but you can keep working—the optimized version replaces the clipboard as soon as it is ready, and the original stays untouched on disk.
