🚀 Maker's Comment

Hi Product Hunt! 👋

I’m excited to introduce Rapid Photo — a native, lightning-fast batch image editor built exclusively for macOS.

Why we built it 🤔

Modern photo tools often feel bloated, overly complex, or require uploading large folders of private images to the cloud just to perform basic batch edits. We wanted something different: a tool that uses the full power of Apple Silicon to process hundreds of images instantly — without compromising privacy.

What makes Rapid Photo special ✨

Built from the ground up with SwiftUI and Core Image, Rapid Photo feels truly at home on macOS. It’s centered around a blazing-fast “Apply to All” workflow designed for high-volume editing.

Here’s what you can do:

🏎️ High-Volume Batch Processing
Crop, resize, adjust, and export up to 500 images simultaneously in seconds.

🔒 100% Local & Private (Zero Cloud)
Your photos never leave your device. Everything runs inside the App Sandbox and is processed locally — your privacy is guaranteed.

🤖 Native On-Device AI
Extract text (OCR) and barcodes, batch-apply face blur to anonymize subjects, and auto-tag images using on-device machine learning.

©️ Professional Watermarking & EXIF Tools
Position text watermarks precisely using a 3×3 grid, and batch-edit IPTC/EXIF metadata (Title, Copyright, Author).

🔤 Dynamic Batch Renaming
Create custom filename patterns with sequential numbering, original names, and date stamps.

🎨 Non-Destructive Editing
Adjust exposure, contrast, temperature, and more — with instant previews before exporting.

Rapid Photo is built to save serious time for photographers, designers, researchers, and anyone working with large image sets.

I’d truly love your feedback, use cases, or feature requests. I’ll be in the comments all day answering questions about the app, our privacy-first approach, and our on-device AI implementation. 👇

Thank you so much for the support! 🚀
