FAQ
Questions?
Is FilePal free?
Yes. Download it and use it. No account, no watermark.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Every conversion runs on your own computer. Your files never leave it.
Windows says “Windows protected your PC”.
FilePal is new, so Windows doesn't recognise it yet. Click More info, then Run anyway. You only see this once.
My Mac says FilePal can't be opened.
FilePal isn't registered with Apple yet, so macOS asks you to confirm once. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway. On macOS 14 or older you can also right-click FilePal in Applications and choose Open.
Where does the new file go?
Right next to the original. It's selected in Explorer (Finder on a Mac) and copied, so you can paste it straight into a chat. You can change this in Settings.
Does it work on Mac?
Yes. Download FilePal for Mac, drag it into Applications, then hold Option and right-click any file in Finder or on your desktop. It works on Macs with Apple silicon (M1 or newer) and macOS 11 or newer. Intel Macs aren't supported yet. The first time, macOS asks you to allow Accessibility so FilePal can see the click. Allowing Screen Recording as well gives the bubbles their see-through glass.
How do I update or uninstall it?
On Windows it updates itself. To remove it: Windows Settings → Apps → Installed apps → FilePal → Uninstall. On a Mac, FilePal tells you when a new version is out. To remove it, quit FilePal from the menu bar and drag it from Applications to the Bin.
