Mega Baboon Labs
Serious engineers.
Unserious mascot.
We're an independent software studio from Nottinghamshire, UK — building software that performs as brilliantly as it looks.
Who we are
Native by conviction. Never by compromise.
From first principles
Mega Baboon Labs was born from a simple belief: that software should be extraordinary — not just functional. We don't bolt apps together from templates or chase trends. We architect from first principles, write clean code, and build products that feel right at home on the computers you already use.
Built to last
We don't bolt apps together from templates or chase trends. We architect from first principles, write clean code, and build products that feel right at home on the computers you already use. Every title earns its place.
How we work
Premium software isn't an accident.
Every title we release goes through rigorous design, architecture review, and real-world testing — because the people using our software deserve the best version of what we set out to build.
Privacy by design
Your data is yours. We build software that respects that principle from line one — no trackers, no telemetry, no cloud uploads, no accounts. Everything runs locally on your computer.
Local performance
We build around the hardware you already have — local processing, worker-backed pipelines, responsive previews, and format-specific encoders that avoid cloud round-trips.
Fair, honest pricing
No subscriptions. No annual renewals. No "pro tiers" that gate the features you actually need. Pay once, own it forever. Software the way it should be.
Obsessive attention to detail
We sweat the small stuff — because the difference between good software and great software lives in the details most people never notice. Animations, pixel alignment, error handling. All of it.
Our apps
PicSquish
The first title from Mega Baboon Labs — an image compression and conversion tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux, built for photographers, creators, and developers who want results without the fuss. AVIF, WebP, HEIC, responsive image sets, developer icon packs, and more. Fast, private, and brutally efficient.

More is coming.
PicSquish is the first chapter in the Mega Baboon Labs story. More apps are in the pipeline — each carrying the same DNA: local-first performance, a thoughtful user experience, and quality you can feel from the first click.
