Image-Batch

Image-Batch is a powerful Mac app designed for bulk image editing. With it, you can resize, crop, compress, convert, watermark, rename, rotate, flip, and find duplicate images with ease.

Yes. Select a folder and Image-Batch resizes the batch while keeping aspect ratios. Lite includes width resizing for up to 3 images at a time. Pro adds height resizing and selecting individual image files, for up to 40 images at a time. Premium adds largest-side resizing and unlimited images at a time.

Yes. Crop by Aspect Ratio is included in Lite and is useful for social formats such as Instagram or YouTube. Cropping every image to exact pixel dimensions is a Premium feature. Pro and Premium also add a custom crop position.

Image-Batch compresses images entirely on your Mac — no cloud upload. Reduce by percentage for quick file-size savings, or (Premium) set a target max file size per image for strict upload limits. All processing stays private and local.

Yes. Use Convert to turn a folder of HEIC or HEIF photos into JPEG. Lite includes JPEG conversion. Pro adds PNG, HEIF, and TIFF. Premium adds AVIF and WebP. Quality is adjustable, and the conversion runs on your Mac, so the photos are not uploaded.

Yes. Image-Batch Lite is free on the Mac App Store and includes core bulk tools (resize by width, crop, compress by percentage, convert to JPEG, watermark, rename, and find duplicates) for up to 3 images per batch. It is a free edition, not a timed trial. Upgrade to Pro or Premium anytime with a one-time purchase. There is no subscription.

No. Lite is free. Pro is $8.99 once and Premium is $19.99 once. If you already have Pro, the upgrade to Premium is $12.99 once. There is no monthly or yearly fee.

Lite is a working free version for up to 3 images at a time. You can resize by width, crop, compress by percentage, convert to JPEG, watermark, rename, and find duplicates. Selecting individual files, resize by height, PNG, HEIF, and TIFF, target file size, exact pixel crop, largest-side resize, WebP, AVIF, and rotate are part of Pro or Premium.

Yes, on Intel Macs that run macOS 15 or later. The Mac App Store listing requires macOS 15 and does not require an Apple silicon chip. Apple silicon Macs on macOS 15 or later are supported too.

Preview edits one image at a time. An online compressor uploads your photos. Image-Batch applies one setting to a folder on your Mac, and the files stay on your computer. It runs one operation at a time, so after a resize you can compress, rename, or convert the output folder.

Yes. Add a custom watermark image to an entire batch in seconds. Pro and Premium unlock custom watermark positioning for more control over placement.

No. Image-Batch processes images 100% locally on your Mac. Your photos are not uploaded to our servers. You only need the internet to download the app or complete in-app purchases — not to edit images.

Drop a folder of images, pick one tool, set the options, and Image-Batch writes the edited copies to a new folder. Pro and Premium can also select individual image files, and can turn on Direct Edit to change the originals. The app runs one operation at a time.

Image-Batch supports a wide range of formats including WEBP, AVIF, JPEG/JPG, PNG, HEIF/HEIC, and TIFF.

Image-Batch offers flexible pricing tiers to suit your needs:

• Free Version (Lite): Access to core features with a limit of 3 images per batch.
• Pro Version ($8.99 one-time): Extended functionality for heavier use — up to 40 images per batch, custom output folders, Direct Edit Mode, extended formats (PNG, HEIF, TIFF), custom crop & watermark positioning, and more.
• Premium Version ($19.99 one-time): The complete professional toolkit — unlimited images, reduce to exact file size, precision crop by pixels, largest-side resize, AVIF & WEBP conversion, full rotate & flip, and everything in Pro.
• Pro to Premium ($12.99 one-time): If you already have Pro, this is the upgrade to Premium instead of buying Premium at full price.

Previously, Image-Batch was available as a one-time purchase for all features. Existing customers who made that purchase continue to have lifetime access to everything plus free updates.

Users who previously purchased Image-Batch at a one-time price are automatically upgraded to the Premium version upon updating. This process may take a few seconds after launching the app for the first time. If you don't see Premium features activated, click the "Upgrade" button at the bottom of the app, then select "Restore Purchase."

With Image-Batch, you have full control. If you're on the Pro or Premium tier, you can use "Direct Edit Mode" to save changes directly to the original folder (when using folder selection). If you prefer to keep originals untouched, Image-Batch creates a new output folder for edited images.

Image-Batch's 'Reduce' feature decreases file size through compression (for JPEG, HEIF, WEBP) or scaling (for all formats). For maximum reduction, the app may apply both. Note that heavy compression can affect image quality — always test results for your use case.

Image-Batch offers different processing capabilities based on your tier:

• Lite Version: Up to 3 images at once.
• Pro Upgrade: Up to 40 images at once.
• Premium Upgrade: Unlimited image processing (tested with 500+ images).

Performance depends on image size, your Mac's specs, and the specific edits being performed.

When you select a folder, Image-Batch only processes image files directly in that folder. Sub-folders are not accessed or modified — giving you precise control over which images are edited.

Create a new folder on your Mac, drag the photos from Apple Photos into it, then select that folder in Image-Batch. After editing, you can drag the output images back into Apple Photos if desired.

Image-Batch performs one operation at a time for precision and safety. After completing one process (e.g., resizing), you can immediately run the next (e.g., renaming) on the same or new batch.

Image-Batch requires macOS 15 or later. The Mac App Store listing does not require Apple silicon, so Intel Macs that run macOS 15 are supported, along with Apple silicon Macs. There is no iPhone, iPad, or Windows version.

Images not fully downloaded from iCloud cannot be edited. Check each image in the folder and click the cloud icon to download it before starting your batch edit.

This setting lets you choose whether Image-Batch uses Apple's preferred extensions (e.g., .jpeg instead of .jpg). Toggle it in Settings to maintain consistent file naming across your library.

This controls the default compression level for JPEG, WebP, HEIF, and AVIF exports. You can set your preferred quality in Settings — it applies automatically to all compressible formats. Individual Convert operations can override this with their own slider.

AVIF uses advanced compression that delivers superior quality at smaller file sizes, but it requires more processing power. Please be patient when working with AVIF files — the results are worth it!

Largest Side Resizing (Premium only) automatically detects the longest dimension of each image and resizes that side to your specified value while preserving aspect ratio. Perfect for fitting images into specific size requirements regardless of orientation.
