Remove an image background, extract its text, resize it, or change its format. Turn PDF pages into JPGs, combine PDFs, or make a PDF from images.
Keep a result moving.

Yes. Version 0.9.2 has no subscription, license key, trial timer or expiry. Future pricing has not been decided.
Does everything stay on my Mac?
Image and PDF processing, OCR and supported local AI run on your Mac. Image searches and downloads contact providers and publishers; translation may download language packs. Clipboard history is optional and off by default. Read the privacy details.
Can I undo the installation?
Quit Orbit, switch off Launch at login if enabled, then move Orbit.app to Trash. Removing the app doesn't remove its saved pins or image links. Full removal instructions.
How do updates work?
Updates are manual. Quit Orbit and replace the app with a newer beta from the same distributor. Keep the old installer for rollback. Ad-hoc updates may ask for permissions again.
