Burnish 0.4 for macOS, Windows, and Linux

Process a thousand photos. Upload none of them.

Burnish resizes, crops, and converts whole folders of images on your own computer. No account, no cloud, no waiting on someone else's server.

Works offline · originals are never changed

Burnish processing a batch of photos: a list of files with thumbnails and progress, and the chosen workflow on the right
Files never leave your computer No account to make No tracking or analytics Works without internet

How it works

From a messy folder to finished files in three steps.

Drop in your images

Drag in files or a whole folder, subfolders included. HEIC, TIFF, AVIF, JPEG, PNG, WebP, and more.

Pick a workflow

Choose one of 29 ready-made workflows, or build your own from steps: resize, crop, sharpen, convert.

Get your results

Copies appear in a folder you choose. Your originals stay exactly as they were, and nothing is overwritten unless you ask for it.

Made for people who handle a lot of images

The repetitive part, done once.

About

One person, sharp tools, one at a time.

Honebench is an independent workshop. To hone is to refine something until it works the way it should, and that is the idea behind every project here: do one job well, and keep the user in control.

Questions, bug reports, and requests are read by a person: support@honebench.dev.

Give your photos back their afternoon.

Set a workflow up once and let Burnish do the repetitive work, on your own computer.
