The story

Freshly Squeezed is a powerful batch image resizing tool for macOS that lets you resize, crop, convert, and optimize images locally on your Mac. Create presets for your common image tasks, then apply them to entire folders at once or set up Drop Folders for automatic processing of new images without opening the app. Export to JPEG, PNG, PNG-8, HEIC, WebP, AVIF, and other formats with full control over quality and metadata.

Overview

Freshly Squeezed is a batch image processing tool designed for macOS that automates repetitive image tasks like resizing, cropping, converting, and optimizing. Built by Daelan Wood, a Director of Technology at an ecommerce company, the tool solves the problem of handling large volumes of product images that need consistent formatting across multiple sizes and formats. Users create reusable presets that define size, format, compression, and crop settings, then apply them to entire folders at once or attach them to Drop Folders for hands-off automation. The app runs locally on your Mac, keeping all image data private, and supports modern formats including WebP and AVIF alongside traditional JPEG and PNG. It's aimed at designers, web developers, ecommerce managers, content creators, and social media managers who regularly process batches of images. The tool offers a one-time purchase model with no subscriptions, making it ideal for teams and individuals who want to eliminate repetitive image chores from their workflows.
