02.1 The pitch

"Drop a folder of 200 HEIC photos or a stack of 4K screen recordings. Zlurp processes everything in parallel — entirely on your Mac, with no data ever leaving your device."

Zlurp replaces the patchwork of CLI commands and web tools you keep reaching for. Drag in a folder, pick a quality preset, and it handles the rest — in parallel, locally, in seconds.

Every file type that matters.

Six categories — one tool. Mix and match in a single batch run.
