Fileshaper 1.2.0 and Captionshaper 1.1.0 are out

Free tools that never upload your files.

Small, polished apps for Windows and Mac that do one job well, entirely on your own computer. No ads, no accounts, no watermarks.

Animated demo: Fileshaper compresses a 214 MB video to 9.6 MB, on the computer.

Animated demo: Captionshaper writes word-timed captions onto a video, offline.

Two apps. Both free, for good.

Each one replaces a website that wants you to upload your files, wait in a queue and pay to remove a watermark.

Fileshaper

Compress videos for Discord, convert iPhone photos, merge and sign PDFs. One toolbox, fully offline.

v1.2.0 · Mac and Windows · Official site: fileshaper.app

Captionshaper

Word-timed subtitles for any video, written by a speech model on your own computer. SRT, VTT or burned in.

v1.1.0 · Mac and Windows · Official site: captionshaper.app
