# KarmaDisk for Mac

> Storage maps, duplicates and lossless photo compression.

KarmaDisk maps your storage, finds duplicates and walks you through cleanup, then shrinks supported JPEG, PNG and TIFF files losslessly and checks every result. A JPEG XL workflow verifies the original JPEG can be rebuilt exactly, and photo workflows gather scattered pictures into Apple Photos, keeping the originals until you approve removing them. Free with a 50-photo sample; needs macOS 15.
