Pixea
Pixea is a macOS image editor and media viewer for browsing, changing, and playing files. It opens HEIC, JPEG XL, PSD, RAW, WebP, AVIF, MP4, and MKV. The media browser searches, filters, sorts, and shuffles items in folders and archives, while a metadata viewer is included. Editing tools cover exposure, color, cropping, rotation, resizing, sharpening, denoising, perspective correction, and watermarking. Batch Editor applies global or per-image changes, presets, resizing, and upscaling; the free edition handles three images per batch. Machine-learning tools provide object removal and 2× or 4× upscaling, with object removal requiring macOS 13 or later. Video playback includes audio-track and subtitle selection, resume, repeat, aspect-ratio changes, and speeds from 0.5× to 2×. Pixea requires macOS 11 or later on Apple Silicon or Intel Macs. Pixea Plus adds shortcuts, gestures, broader filters, unlimited batch editing, and 4× upscaling. The maker says normal use collects no personal information and needs no registration. Plans are free, $1.99 a month, $14.99 a year, or $19.99, paid once.
