Consul Converter

Consul automatically converts files when you change their extension. Rename IMG_0073.HEIC to IMG_0073.jpg and the file is instantly converted to a JPEG file – works with images, videos, audio, and more.

Set it and forget it

Consul runs quietly in your menu bar, watching for renamed extensions and converting files automatically. Images, audio, video – it just works.

• Smart format detection: Consul inspects the actual file contents, not just the extension. When you rename a file, it detects the mismatch and converts automatically.
• Works with dozens of formats: Images, audio, and video. JPEG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, MP3, WAV, MP4, MOV, and many more – all converted natively on your Mac.
• Customizable rules: Control exactly how each conversion is handled. Choose to convert immediately, ask first, or skip entirely for any format pair.

The file converter you'll forget you have.

Consul works quietly in the background. No windows to open, no buttons to click. Just rename your files and they're converted.

• Lives in your menu bar: Always ready, never in the way. Click the icon to manage conversions or pause monitoring.
• 100% private: Files never leave your Mac. No cloud uploads, no tracking, no shady online converters.
• Blazing fast: Native macOS APIs with hardware acceleration. Most conversions finish in under a second.
• Watch any folder: Monitor your Desktop, Downloads, and any other folder. Add folders with drag & drop.
• Never lose a file: Original files are safely moved to Trash before conversion if desired and easy to restore.
• Try free for 14 days: Discover for yourself what users call "the macOS feature Apple forgot."
