IMG for AI
macOS menu-bar utility

Stop burning AI context on oversized images.

Drag any screenshot to the edge of your screen. IMG for AI hands back an AI-optimized copy that stays readable — while using a fraction of the context.

The problem

AI tools run out of context — fast.

Drop a few full-resolution screenshots into an AI coding assistant and the context window fills up. Images get downscaled, truncated, or skipped — and your answers suffer.

The insight

Tokens come from pixels — not file size.

A vision model's cost is driven by an image's dimensions, not its kilobytes. Re-compressing a file barely helps. Reducing resolution — without losing readability — is what actually frees up context.

tokens ≈ width × height ÷ 750

Anthropic's documented approximation. Other models count differently — see the note below.

The formula above is Anthropic's. OpenAI's latest models count 32×32-pixel patches and Google Gemini counts 768-pixel tiles — different math, same principle: vision cost tracks pixel dimensions, not file size. Each model also caps resolution and downscales larger images, so oversized inputs spend tokens on detail the model discards anyway. IMG for AI targets each tool's sweet spot per profile.

The payoff

Dramatically smaller. Still readable.

A 4K screenshot, optimized for AI. The model already caps the original — you choose how much further to go.

Features

Built for AI, obsessed with quality.

AI-first optimization

Right-sizes resolution to cut tokens — tuned to how your AI tool (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) counts them.

Never larger than the original

If compression can't beat your file, it keeps the original untouched. No bloat, ever.

Text & UI stay crisp

Lossless WebP plus post-resize sharpening keep code, text and interfaces readable.

Appears the instant you drag

A Yoink-style tray slides in the moment you start dragging — anywhere on screen.
