Pomelo
Convert and compress files mid-drag in File Explorer
While you drag files in File Explorer, tap Shift, Ctrl or Alt and a wheel opens under the pointer. Drop the files on a wedge to convert images, PDFs, audio and video, compress or merge them, or zip and move them. Local only, no account.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm Andrea, the developer of Pomelo.
I built it because small file jobs on Windows always meant a detour: open another program, or upload the file to a converter website, then go looking for the result. I wanted those jobs inside the drag I was already making.
How it works: start dragging files in File Explorer or on the desktop, tap a key, and a wheel opens under the pointer. Shift is Convert (99 conversions between 22 formats), Ctrl is Tools (compress, resize, rotate, merge and split PDFs), Alt is Actions (ZIP, copy paths, share, move, a floating shelf). The result is a new file next to the original.
Everything runs on your PC: no upload, no account, no analytics. The first 20 files on Convert and Tools are free, Actions are always free, and a one-time USD 19.99 unlock removes the limit.
You can try the wheel in the browser at pomeloapp.net before installing anything. I'd love to hear which file job you'd want on the wheel next.
