Global hotkeys require Accessibility permission on macOS. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility, then enable ConvertIt in the list. If ConvertIt isn't listed yet, open it once first, then check again.

If it's already enabled but still not working, try toggling it off and on, or remove and re-add ConvertIt to the list.

Click the gear icon in the top-right of the ConvertIt panel to open Settings, then click the hotkey field and press your preferred key combination. The default is ⌘⌥⌃⇧C.

Open ConvertIt with your hotkey, then click Quit ConvertIt in the bottom-right corner of the panel. Since ConvertIt lives in the menu bar, it won't appear in the Dock or in Cmd+Tab.

Temperature, length, weight, volume, data size, speed, area, pressure, energy, power, angle, frequency, time, force, fuel economy, number base, time zones, currency, percentage, and tip — plus a searchable extended unit catalog. Switch between Quick mode (type something like "72f to c") and Guided mode (pick a category and units from menus) in Settings.

Yes, to fetch live exchange rates. ConvertIt caches rates for 24 hours, so you can keep converting offline using the last known rates within that window.

Press Return to copy the current result to your clipboard. In Settings, you can also enable "Auto-copy when result changes" so every update copies automatically.

Open the Media tab, then the Convert sub-tab. Drop your files (or use Choose Files…), pick an output format, and click Convert. ConvertIt processes images and audio/video with AVFoundation and a bundled FFmpeg binary.

In Media → Rename, drop any files and set a rename pattern using tokens:

• {name} — the original filename without extension
• {n} / {nn} — a sequence number, with or without zero-padding
• {ext} — the original file extension

For example, {name}_{nn}.{ext} turns photo.jpg into photo_01.jpg.

By default, output goes to your Downloads folder. You can change this in the Media tab by clicking Change… next to the output folder path.

Yes, ConvertIt is free to download and use. If you find it useful, you can buy me a coffee to support development. There are no in-app purchases or subscriptions.

Same app either way. The Mac App Store is the easiest path for most people — install from Apple, and updates arrive through the store. The website DMG is there if you prefer a direct download or need a previous version from the Releases page.

macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. (macOS 27 Golden Gate itself is Apple silicon–only; ConvertIt still runs on Intel under macOS 14–26.)

Email help@convertitapp.com with details (and your macOS version, if it's a bug). Screenshots help a lot.
