Convert files as easily as picking flowers.

Drag a file, tap ⇧, and a flower full of formats blooms right under your cursor. Let go, and the new file lands next to the original.

Everything a flower can hold.

Some tools work instantly. Others open a small window for when you want to take a look.

⌘Crop

Crop without opening Preview first.

Drag an image, tap ⌘, choose Crop. Adjust the frame, pick a ratio, done. The original stays untouched.

Place an image on a gradient or a color, round its corners and give it a soft shadow. The preview updates as you go.

  • Eight gradients from sunrise to sunset
  • Your own color, or transparent
  • Padding, corners, shadow and 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 9:16

⌘Split PDFs

Split a PDF into exactly the parts you need.

Every page, every two pages, or your own ranges like 1-2, 3-5, 6-. Colors show you up front which page goes into which file.

  • Single pages or every N pages
  • Custom ranges, one file each
  • Only the pages you click

Many PDFs become one.

Drag the files into order, take only the pages you need from each, and name the result.

  • Reorder by dragging
  • Page ranges per file
  • Drop more PDFs into the window
Merge window with cover letter, certificates and CV
⌃Shelf

A shelf that floats above everything.

Park files on the shelf with ⌃ and drag them out later, one by one or all at once. Into Mail, a chat or another folder.

  • Previews for photos, PDFs and videos
  • “Drag all” for the whole collection
  • Files you drag out leave the shelf
Floating shelf with four files
⌘Remove background & recognize text

Your Mac sees what you see.

Remove Background lifts people, animals and objects off their background. Text recognition reads signs, scans and screenshots and copies the text to your clipboard. Your Mac does both on its own.

  • Transparent PNG, computed on your Mac
  • Text from photos and scanned PDFs
  • Compression that never returns a bigger file

Good to know.

Does Blumio need an internet connection?

No. Every conversion and tool runs on your Mac, including background removal and text recognition. Blumio works just the same on a plane. Online, it only confirms your license now and then; it never sends your files.

Which Macs does Blumio run on?

Macs with Apple silicon (M1 and later) running macOS 14 Sonoma or later.

Why does Blumio ask for Accessibility access?

While you drag a file, the mouse belongs to Finder. To notice that you tap ⇧, ⌘ or ⌃ anyway, Blumio needs this permission. It doesn’t read what you type and sends nothing anywhere.

What happens to my originals?

They stay exactly as they are. New files land next to them or, if you prefer, always in one folder of your choice.

Do I have to hold the key down?

No, one tap is enough. If you prefer push-to-talk, switch to “Hold” in Settings. You can assign any of the keys freely.

Can Blumio create MP3 or WebP?

Not yet. Blumio reads MP3 and WebP, but currently writes M4A, FLAC, WAV, AIFF and CAF, and JPG, PNG, HEIC, AVIF and more. MP3 and WebP export are planned.

Is there a subscription?

No. You pay €19 once. All updates for version 1 are included.

Is Blumio available in English?

The tool windows shown above already speak English. The menu and settings are in German for now; English follows in an update.

What happens when I get a new Mac?

Your key works on up to 3 Macs at once. On a new Mac, just enter it again. If all 3 slots are taken, Blumio lists your Macs and you remove the old one with one click. Lost your key? Blumio sends it to your email again.

Does Blumio work without internet?

Yes. Blumio confirms your license quietly whenever your Mac is online. Only if it hasn’t been online for 60 days does Blumio ask you to connect once.
