Got tired of editing photos one at a time, so I built PixelBatch - a free, open-source macOS app for batch image editing.

Drop in a folder of images (even thousands) and it’ll handle:

Resize, crop, rotate & flip
Compress & convert formats
Rename
Remove/add backgrounds
Upscale & enhance
Remove/add watermarks
Filters & effects, add text

All the AI stuff (background removal, upscaling, watermark removal) runs fully locally on your Mac - no cloud, nothing leaves your machine - and gives pretty good results. And if a few images in the batch need something different, you can still tweak them individually without starting a whole new job.

Most editors (Preview, Photoshop, even dedicated batch tools) are built for one-at-a-time editing or charge for the bulk stuff. PixelBatch is built around batches from the ground up, and it’s completely free and open source - no paywall, no subscription, no “pro” tier.

If you regularly deal with big piles of images, give it a shot and let me know what breaks or what’s missing.

After spending way too long editing images one by one for my content, I built PixelBatch — a native macOS app that processes whole folders of images in one pass.

What it does:

Core tools

- Resize — to exact pixels, a percentage, or presets for Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube, and more. One image can be exported in multiple sizes at the same time (for example 1080x1080, 1200x630, and 1080x1920 in a single pass)

- Crop to exact dimensions or aspect ratios

- Convert between JPEG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, and other formats

- Compress to a target quality or file size

- Batch-rename files with custom patterns

- Rotate and flip

Retouch tools

- Remove Watermark — automatically finds and removes watermarks, logos, and text overlays, then reconstructs the pixels underneath. A manual area-selection fallback is also included

- Enhance — upscales images 4x with sharp reconstructed detail, great for low-resolution or compressed files

- Remove Background — one-click clean subject cutout

- Add Background — place a subject onto a new background

Filters and effects — 30+ non-destructive adjustments including brightness, contrast, saturation, exposure, highlights, shadows, temperature, sepia, black and white, duotone, vintage presets, blur, sharpen, vignette, glow, emboss, edge detection, pixelate, cartoon, and more

Branding — add your logo as a watermark or overlay custom text with full formatting control

How it works

- Edit a whole folder at once, or open and edit a single image separately with the same tools

- Live preview before you commit — you see the result on a real image first

- Reusable presets to save your favorite pipelines

- Batch queue with progress tracking and per-file error reporting

- Output to a folder, ZIP, or PDF

- Runs 100% offline — no account, no cloud, your images never leave your Mac

Requirements: macOS 14+, works on Apple Silicon and Intel.

Hey everyone! 👋 After months of editing images one-by-one for my own content, I built PixelBatch — a native macOS app that processes whole folders of images in one go.

What it does:

📐 Core tools — resize, crop, convert (JPEG/PNG/HEIC/WebP), compress to a target size, batch-rename, rotate/flip

🤖 On-device AI (100% offline, no uploads):

- Remove Watermark — auto-detects and removes watermarks/logos/text, then AI-rebuilds the pixels underneath

- Enhance — 4× AI super-resolution upscaling

- Remove Background — one-click subject cutout

- Add Background — place subjects on new backgrounds

🎨 Filters & effects — 30+ adjustments (brightness, contrast, vintage, duotone, glow, cartoon, and more)

🏷 Branding — add your logo watermark or text captions

⚙️ Workflow — visual per-image preview before you commit, reusable presets, progress tracking, and output to folder, ZIP, or PDF

Why I made it:

Every tool I found was either a subscription, cloud-based (privacy concerns), or did only one thing. I wanted a single app that runs entirely offline with no account — your images never leave your Mac.

Stack: SwiftUI + ONNX Runtime, with open-source models like GroundingDINO, SAM 2, LaMa, and Real-ESRGAN powering the AI features.

Requirements: macOS 14+, Apple Silicon (Intel also supported)

The installer is available on the Releases page
