The problem

Image work is a thousand tiny papercuts.

If you handle product photos, listings, or asset drops more than once a week, you already feel this.

The 12-tab tax

Squoosh in one tab, TinyPNG in another, a renamer somewhere, plus that one Photoshop action you keep forgetting how to run.

Uploading work that should never leave your laptop

Client RAWs, NDA-bound product shots, drafts you don't want indexed by some free web tool's ad partner.

Format and size guesswork

Shopify wants 2048 squares. Amazon wants something else. Etsy is a different story again. Nobody remembers the rules.

What it does

Six tools you already use, in one keystroke.

Excalibar bundles the bulk-image jobs you keep cobbling together. No new workflow, just a faster version of the one you have.

Convert thousands of images at once

PNG, JPG, WEBP, AVIF. Drop a folder, pick a format, get the whole batch back in seconds.

Ship listings faster with platform presets

Built-in recipes for Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, eBay, and WordPress handle dimensions, quality, and format for you.

Resize a folder in one pass

Fixed dimensions, percentage scaling, or max-width caps. Crop-to-fill, padding, retina presets, all there.

Rename batches without a spreadsheet

Sequential numbering, prefixes, suffixes, find and replace, date stamps, slug formatting. Set the pattern, hit go.

Right-click any folder to start

Native Finder and Explorer integration. "Optimize with Excalibar" lives in your context menu, no app to launch.

Local-first by default

No cloud round-trips, no uploads, no API keys. Files are processed on your machine, full stop.

Platform presets

Stop guessing dimensions. Pick a store.

Every marketplace has its own rules for image size, format, and quality. Excalibar ships with the recipes built in. Drop your folder, pick the store, get listing-ready files.

How it works

Three steps. No app to launch.

Right-click any folder. The sidebar slides in with the right preset pre-loaded, processes locally, and tucks itself away when it's done.

  1. Step 01

    Right-click a folder

    From Finder, Explorer, or anywhere a file lives. Pick "Optimize with Excalibar".

  2. Step 02

    Sidebar slides in

    Pre-loaded with your files and the right preset for the job. Adjust if you want, or just confirm.

  3. Step 03

    Done in seconds

    Files are processed locally and dropped back in the folder. Sidebar tucks itself away until next time.

FAQ

Questions, mostly answered.

Does Excalibar upload my files anywhere?

No. Every conversion, resize, and rename runs locally on your machine. There is no cloud step, no API call, and no telemetry that includes file contents.

Which platforms does it run on?

macOS and Windows, with native context-menu integration on both. The sidebar UI is consistent across operating systems.

What image formats are supported?

Read and write for PNG, JPG, WEBP, and AVIF. TIFF and HEIC inputs convert to any of the above. RAW formats can be brought in via a system preview pipeline.

Is there a file size limit?

No artificial cap. The only limit is your machine. Excalibar streams large batches so memory stays low even on a 60-file shoot.

How does pricing work?

Monthly or annual subscription. Annual saves a meaningful amount versus paying month to month. Both are managed through the customer portal, cancel anytime.

Can I use it for client work?

Yes. The license covers commercial use on the machines you sign in on. If you have a team, talk to us and we'll set up a team plan.
