Built by a Pro. Made for Everyone.
I built this because I'd spent too much time in the “upload/download shuffle.”
I'm a web designer and photographer. I spent years in a loop: I'd compress images on one site, download them, and re-upload to a second site just to change a file type. It wasn't efficient. Most sites have limits or hide batch tools behind a paywall. I didn't want to pay for “credits” just to finish my afternoon's work.
The other option was opening Photoshop or Lightroom. I love those apps for creative work, but using them for simple batch tasks felt like driving a semi-truck to the grocery store. It's overkill. It's slow for what should be a 30-second task.
I realized this isn't only a professional bottleneck. Anyone who's ever needed to make simple changes to an image — whether it's a quick one-off edit or processing thousands in a batch — hits the same wall. We all need software that's powerful but not bloated.
I wanted to do everything in one shot, in a workflow I could save and reuse. So I built IMG Flow. It's a fast, native Mac app that lets you build a factory for your images. No limits. No paywalls. No re-uploading.
Build Once. Run Forever.
Stop doing the same task twice. Build your workflow once on a visual canvas and save it as a pipeline. Whether you're processing three files or three thousand, the process stays the same.
1. Select a saved pipeline
2. Drop images into the queue
3. Run the pipeline
One Batch. Multiple Outputs.
Most tools make you run the same images multiple times. IMG Flow doesn't. Send a full-quality version to Dropbox, a compressed version to your website, and a watermarked version to a client — all from a single run.
Flexible Delivery: Each destination node features a ZIP toggle. You can choose to save images as individual files for your local archive while automatically packaging them into a ZIP for an email or cloud upload — all in the same pass.
No Waiting. No Limits.
Web tools slow you down. You upload, wait, and download. Then you repeat the process for the next step. Large batches get throttled or locked behind credits.
IMG Flow runs locally on your Mac. It uses your Mac's CPU cores to process images in parallel. You'll move through batches quickly without waiting on heavy software or manual steps. No limits. No queues. No uploading your files to someone else's server.

Massive Format Support
Most tools choke on professional formats. IMG Flow doesn't.
Universal Inputs

Export Formats
JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, TIFF, PDF, AVIF, HEIC
Metadata Preserved, Not Stripped
Your camera EXIF (make, model, lens, shutter, ISO, date, GPS), ICC color profile, XMP keywords and ratings, IPTC copyright and creator info, and EXIF orientation all survive the pipeline intact. Portrait photos come out oriented right-side-up. Wide-gamut shots render with correct colors in Lightroom, Photoshop, and Safari. Your copyright stays embedded. Most batch tools silently strip all of this. IMG Flow doesn't.
RAW and specialty formats are input-only.
Six Tools for Production. Zero Junk.
Because the canvas is node-based, you can connect tools in any order. Branch your pipeline to create multiple outputs in one run. There's no need to process the same images twice.
Rotate
Fix orientation or flip entire batches instantly.
Resize
Presets for social media or custom dimensions with aspect ratio locks.
Crop
Batch crop to fixed ratios or fine-tune each image with the visual editor.
Convert
Switch between 8 professional formats at high quality.
Watermark
Apply text or SVG overlays, including full-image tile patterns.
Compress
Smart auto-compression for JPEG, PNG, and WebP. No settings to guess.
IMG Flow suggests the optimal order and can automatically rearrange your nodes for the highest quality output.
The Inbox: A Bridge Between Devices
Every user gets a unique email address (e.g., chucknorris@imgflow.app) and a shareable upload page (e.g., upload.imgflow.app/chucknorris). Snap a photo on your phone and email it. It appears instantly in your IMG Flow queue. It's ready to run. No file-sharing links. No digging through messages. No extra steps.

Use Cases
From quick edits to automated pipelines
These are just a few ideas. Once you start building pipelines, you'll come up with better ones than I did.
The Quick Edit
Convert HEIC photos to JPEG or resize a one-off image for a post in seconds.
The Seller
Crop, resize, and watermark product images for Shopify — save clean originals to Dropbox and watermarked versions to a Local Folder in one pass.
The Photographer
Resize for web, tap full-res to Google Drive as a backup, then watermark and email a branded download link to the client — three outputs from one pipeline.
The Web Developer
Convert PNGs to WebP, compress for production, and FTP straight to your CDN. Tap the pre-compressed version to a Local Folder as a build artifact.
The Real Estate Agent
Rotate, resize, and convert listing images in one click to a Local Folder.
The Agency Power-Move
Pull assets from Inbox, Dropbox, and drag-drop. Fan results out to Google Drive for the client, FTP for the dev team, and a zipped Local Archive for your records — all at once.
The Admin
Batch-convert a folder of legacy PDFs or TIFFs into web-ready JPEGs.
The Social Media Manager
Crop to 1:1 for Instagram, resize to 1200px for LinkedIn, and compress both — save squares to Dropbox and landscape versions to a separate Local Folder.
The Brand Protector
Resize product photos, tap clean versions to Google Drive for internal use, then watermark and save branded versions as a ZIP for the marketing team.
Pay once. It's yours.
Software should be an asset, not a monthly bill.
