DropReady Media is a Mac app that helps you convert iPhone photos and videos into upload-friendly formats and sizes. Drop HEIC photos or large videos, choose the sharing size, and export files that are easier to upload to SaaS tools, forms, chats, and web services. Everything is processed locally on your Mac.
Hey Product Hunt!
I built DropReady Media because I often ran into small but annoying problems when uploading files to SaaS tools.
Photos from iPhone were sometimes in the wrong format, videos were too large, or the file size did not match what the upload form expected. Doing this one by one with separate tools felt slower than it should be.
DropReady Media is a simple Mac utility for preparing photos and videos before upload.
You can drop multiple files, choose a sharing size such as Smaller, Standard, High Quality, or Near Original, and convert them into upload-friendly files. There is also a Quick Drop window for fast conversion with saved settings.
The app is designed for everyday cases like:
- uploading images to SaaS products
- attaching files to web forms
- sharing iPhone photos with non-Apple users
- reducing large media files before sending
- converting HEIC photos into more widely usable formats
Everything is processed locally on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded.
I wanted this to feel like a small utility that quietly removes friction before sharing files.
I would love to hear your feedback.

honestly this looks super handy for dealing with all those HEIC files macs spit out. one thing i'd love to see is a right click option in finder so i can just select a bunch of photos and hit "convert with dropready" without having to open the app first. would save a bunch of time when i'm uploading stuff to work tools.
@emreboyvatexph That would be a great workflow improvement. A Finder Quick Action is something I’m considering for a future update. Thanks for the suggestion!
@emreboyvatexph Thanks again for the idea! Version 1.2.0 now lets you select files in Finder and choose “Convert with DropReady Media” from the right-click menu. The update is now available on the Mac App Store.

Super useful for getting around the HEIC headache on forms that wont accept them. One thing that would make it even better: bulk renaming the exported files with a custom prefix or date stamp before they go out, so when I drop a batch into a client folder it is already organized instead of me renaming 40 things by hand afterwards.
@emircanayvtyyi Thanks again for the feedback! Version 1.2.0 now supports batch naming with a custom prefix or capture date, followed by sequence numbers. The update is now available on the Mac App Store.

Finally something that handles HEIC without making me jump through hoops, basically just drag and drop and it spits out files I can actually upload anywhere. The local processing is a nice touch since I don't really want my photos leaving my laptop.
@zlemncel104573 Thank you! Keeping the workflow simple and processing everything locally were two of my main goals, so I’m glad that came through.

Handy little utility, dropped a pile of HEIC shots in and they came out ready to upload without thinking about sizes. Love that nothing leaves the Mac.

@emircanayvtyyi Thanks! A custom prefix or date stamp makes a lot of sense for batch exports. I’ve added this to the feature list.
