PhotoMill X
What PhotoMill X is
PhotoMill X is a paid macOS app for converting, browsing and editing image batches and metadata. It reads popular formats and exports AVIF, BMP, GIF, HEIC, JPEG, JPEG 2000, JPEG XL, PDF, PNG, TIFF and WEBP, with lossless export for AVIF, HEIC, JPEG XL and WebP. Tools cover RAW processing, resizing, cropping, rotation, flipping, colour adjustments, ICC profiles and image or text watermarks. Metadata features correct capture dates, remove private tags such as GPS, and set copyright, keywords and IPTC ratings. Batch renaming can use indexes, dates, camera owners, original names and folders. Search supports up to 30 criteria, while the browser groups images by selected criteria. Live Preview provides a converted-result view and Before & After comparison. Preset-based automation supports batch work. The maker says settings remain on the device and its macOS apps do not access or retain personal data recorded in them. PhotoMill costs $14.99, paid once and requires macOS 10.15 or later.
