THE MAC APP

For the work you do every day.

Save your settings as presets. Process new files automatically. Keep every image on your Mac.

AI upscaling, on device

Real‑ESRGAN rebuilds detail at 4× before the resize, on your Mac's GPU. Two models: Photo for camera work, Illustration for flat art and line work. Slow, and worth it when the source is small.

4× Photo Illustration Nothing uploaded

56 presets, 11 bundles

Web development, e‑commerce, blogging and social, photography, office. A preset loads its numbers straight into the sidebar, so you can see what it will do and change it. A bundle writes several sizes from one source in a single run.

Watch folders

Point Frostbatch at a folder and anything dropped into it is processed on arrival, with your current settings or a separate set saved for that folder.

Metadata stays yours

Strip EXIF, GPS and camera data before you share. Nothing is uploaded; there is no account and no server.

Rename on export

Give the batch a filename pattern. {name} keeps the original, so {name}@2x turns hero.jpg into hero@2x.jpg.

Crop before the batch

Drag a frame on any single image. The crop is applied before the resize and stays saved if you reopen it.

Questions

Questions people ask

Is Frostbatch a subscription?

The Mac app is $0.99 once through the Mac App Store, with nothing to renew.

What happens after the trial?

You get five days of the full app. After that, starting a new batch asks you to unlock it for $0.99. Nothing you have already exported is touched, and there are no prompts before the five days are up.

Do my images get uploaded anywhere?

The Mac app processes everything locally, including AI upscaling, with no image uploads.

What does AI upscaling actually do?

It runs Real-ESRGAN over each image at 4× before the resize, which rebuilds detail rather than stretching pixels. Choose Photo or Illustration. Upscaling takes longer than resizing and works best on small images.

Will it run on my Mac?

It needs macOS 13 (Ventura) or newer and a Mac with Apple silicon. Upscaling uses the GPU where there is one and falls back to the CPU otherwise.

Can I get it outside the App Store?

Not at the moment. The Mac App Store is the only place to buy it.

Which formats can it read and write?

It reads JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF and HEIC, and writes the first five. Pick Original to keep each file's own type; HEIC is the exception and comes out as JPEG, because there is no HEIC encoder to write back to.

Where do the resized files go?

Either into a zip you choose the location for, or over the originals in place if you pick Rewrite. The zip is named batch- plus a timestamp by default, and you can change that prefix.
