Drag into Applications.
Open the DMG and drag Morphlet to Applications. Launch it, then open Studio from the menu-bar icon. Option+C can require Finder Automation permission.

A note before you install.
Windows installers are unsigned. Current macOS builds are ad-hoc signed, without an Apple Developer ID, and are not notarized. Your operating system may show a security prompt. Download only from Morphlet’s official GitHub repository. Mac installation & first-launch guide
FROM DOWNLOAD TO DONE.
A quick setup.
A quieter workflow.
Run the installer.
Open the x64 setup executable and follow its prompts. Morphlet runs in the notification area; its icon may be inside the overflow menu.
Choose your package.
Make the AppImage executable and run it, or install the DEB with your package manager. AppImages may need FUSE. Tray availability depends on your desktop.
A FEW USEFUL DETAILS.
Ready when
you are.
Works in the background.
Closing Studio keeps the utility running. Quit from the tray menu. Launch at login is an optional setting.
Bring your own OCR.
AI-ready bundles can use a local Tesseract installation. Install the language data you need; Morphlet does not download OCR models.
Prefer to build it yourself?
The app is open source under MIT. See the repository for source setup and platform requirements.

A clear path
to your first file.
Install. Review. Open.
Then keep your flow.
Morphlet’s macOS builds are ad-hoc signed and are not notarized by Apple. The screenshots show macOS’s first-launch verification warning, not proof that the app is corrupted. Only proceed if you trust Morphlet and downloaded it from the official GitHub release.
Install the right download.
Choose Apple Silicon for M-series Macs or Intel for Intel Macs. Open the DMG, drag Morphlet into Applications, then eject the disk image. Launch the installed copy from Applications.
Dismiss the first warning.
If macOS says “Morphlet Not Opened” and that Apple could not verify it, click Done. Do not choose Move to Bin if you intend to continue with this trusted download.
Find the blocked app.
Open Apple menu → System Settings → Privacy & Security. Scroll down to the Security section and find the message that Morphlet was blocked.
Approve this app, if you trust it.
Click Open Anyway beside Morphlet. Authenticate with your password or Touch ID if macOS requests it. In the confirmation dialog, review the app name and choose Open Anyway (or Open, depending on your macOS version).
Open your workspace.
Look for the Morphlet icon in the menu bar and choose Morphlet Studio or Choose files. Morphlet runs as a background utility, so an empty Dock or no window on launch is expected.
READY WHEN YOU NEED IT
Using Morphlet on your Mac.
Quick conversion
Select files in Finder and press Option+C. Choose an output format from the wheel and preview the new file. If macOS asks to let Morphlet control Finder, approve it only when you want this integration; review it in Privacy & Security → Automation.
Drag to the wheel
Start dragging a supported file in Finder, then hold Option to open the wheel. Drop onto a compatible format. You can also add files directly in Studio.
Use Studio
Open Morphlet Studio from the menu-bar menu to convert files, crop or resize images, and edit supported PDFs. Outputs are saved as new copies.
Keep it available
Closing Studio keeps Morphlet running in the background. Use Quit Morphlet from the menu-bar menu to stop it. Launch at login is optional.
PERMISSIONS / ONLY WHAT YOUR WORKFLOW NEEDS
Enable Finder access for Option+C.
Morphlet uses macOS Automation to read the files you select in Finder. This permission is needed for the Finder-selection shortcut, not for choosing files directly in Studio.
- Open Morphlet, select a supported file in Finder, then press Option+C once to request access.
- If macOS asks whether Morphlet may control Finder, choose Allow if you want the shortcut.
- If you previously denied access, open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation. Expand Morphlet and enable Finder.
- macOS may ask for Touch ID or your Mac account password to authorize the setting. Authenticate in the macOS dialog shown below; Morphlet does not collect this password.
- Return to Finder, select the files again, and press Option+C. If needed, quit and reopen Morphlet. During development, the requesting app may be listed as Electron.
