What is Freshly Squeezed?
Freshly Squeezed is a macOS application designed to handle batch image processing without manual intervention. Rather than editing images one at a time, you can apply the same adjustments, filters, or transformations to multiple images simultaneously. The tool automates repetitive image tasks, which is useful for photographers, designers, content creators, and anyone who regularly works with image libraries. It runs locally on your Mac, meaning your images stay on your device during processing.
