Does SizeFold process selected files or a complete folder?
It uses the complete input folder. Every supported top-level image is part of the batch; there is no second file-selection step.
Before you run a batch
Questions about files, outputs, and privacy
How SizeFold chooses a batch, where it writes the results, and when it moves an original.
Folder and batch
What SizeFold processes
Which source image formats are supported?
SizeFold reads JPG, PNG, HEIC, and TIFF source files and creates JPEG products.
Does it scan nested folders?
No. Only supported images at the top level form the batch, so output and archive subfolders are not pulled back into processing.
Can I use a tethered capture folder?
Yes. Choose the folder where your tethering application writes photos, then use that complete directory as the SizeFold input.
Processing and output
What one run can produce
How many output recipes can run together?
Up to three. Each enabled recipe can use its own crop, dimensions, color settings, JPEG quality, naming rule, and output folder.
Can the same original create square and vertical versions?
Yes. Each recipe crops from the original and writes the result to its own destination.
Does editing change my original?
No. Preview changes are non-destructive, and SizeFold keeps the source file. Processed JPEGs are newly rendered files, so this is not lossless JPEG cropping.
What happens if one required output fails?
Incomplete outputs from that attempt are removed and the original stays in the input directory. It is archived only after every enabled output succeeds.
Privacy and purchase
What the app does not require
Does SizeFold upload images?
No. Crop, color, resize, and JPEG generation run locally on the Mac. The app does not send photos, filenames, or selected folders to SizeFold servers.
Does the app require an account or AI credits?
No. There is no SizeFold account, AI service, or token balance. Purchase and restoration use Apple's StoreKit.
Is SizeFold a subscription?
No. SizeFold is planned as a $19.99 one-time Mac App Store unlock, with no monthly subscription.
Can I try the complete workflow first?
Yes. The trial includes the complete workflow for up to 50 successfully processed source images.
