What it does

Squash 3 is a native, universal app that can batch resize, convert, and compress images, faster than you can even launch Photoshop. Squash 3 supports many formats including, JPG, PNG, TIFF, and the newer WebP and AVIF formats.

Squash for Mac can batch resize, watermark, compress, edit metadatam,convert HEIC/JPG images and so much more.

Requires macOS Big Sur or later. Compatible with macOS Sequoia, Intel, and Apple Silicon. Don't settle for clunky electron apps. Squash is a native macOS app written in Swift and SwiftUI. Universal app, built to take advantage of Apple Silicon (runs great on older Intel based Macs too). Apply gorgeous filters and analog camera style effects to your photos. 8 Filters are included. Additional Effect Packs available to purchase separately. Drop in as many images and photos as you like and let Squash compress them into the format of your choice. Drop in some iPhone HEIC photos and convert them into standard jpg's for use with other apps or internet services. Store your favourite settings as…from realmacsoftware.com

    I am a developer. I have been building stuff for the last 13 years. One common challenge in all my projects is compressing assets to make them as small as possible. I used to end up using online compressors, but this has a lot of privacy concerns. So, I finally set down for couple of weeks and built this simple app. I can just drag and drop assets in it and it shrinks them. It currently supports around 25 file types. I built a lot of iOS apps but this is the first time building a macOS app, so any feedback is welcome.
