Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm babage, the maker of BabaPic. The problem: I kept hitting the same loop — a folder of images that needed to go out in different formats and sizes (a WebP for the site, a couple of square JPGs for social, one compressed under a size limit). I was bouncing between online compressors that made me upload client photos to someone else's server, plus a resizer, plus a batch renamer. A lot of friction for something that should be one step. What BabaPic is: a native macOS app that does the whole thing in one pass. Drop in a batch and it compresses, converts, resizes and renames. The part I use every single day is presets — save "WebP, quality 80, 1600px wide" once, then one source image fans out into web / social / e-commerce versions in a single run. Pro can also watch a folder so new images get processed automatically. Everything runs locally on your Mac — nothing is uploaded, and it works offline. That mattered to me because a lot of what I process is client work I'd rather not push through a random website. How it evolved: the early versions were basically a thin wrapper around an encoder. The turning point was realizing people don't want a "converter" — they want the finished set of files. So it got rebuilt around presets and multi-output, then batch, then folder watching. Honest caveat: it's Apple Silicon only (M1 and later) for now. Free tier handles 30 images a day. Pro is $19 once — lifetime license, free updates, no subscription. I'd love your feedback, especially what your own image workflow looks like and where this still falls short. Around all day for questions. 🙏
