Offline AI Image Descriptions
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Local Image Describer turns static images into structured, editable descriptions without sending your files to a server. A bundled vision-language model and Apple Vision text recognition run on your Mac, so analysis works offline with no account or runtime model download.
What you can create:
• Short descriptions and alt text
• Detailed analysis of people, objects, scenes, actions, composition, lighting, color, camera perspective, and mood
• Keywords and suggested uses
• Optional film-shot fields such as shot size, camera angle, camera movement, subject blocking, visual composition, lighting style, color palette, mood, and shot description
• OCR text
Batch workflow:
Add multiple static JPEG, PNG, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF, or WebP images with the file picker or drag and drop. Choose Quick, Standard, Film, or Custom analysis; pause, retry, or remove queue items; then review and edit generated fields. OCR text remains read-only.
Bilingual output:
Generate Simplified Chinese, English, or bilingual results. The app interface can switch between Simplified Chinese and English.
Flexible export:
Export selected fields to XLSX, CSV, or JSON. XLSX can include thumbnails. Full source paths are excluded by default.
Privacy by design:
Images, OCR text, generated results, and diagnostics are processed locally and are not uploaded. The app contains no telemetry or tracking, and it does not collect data. Your source images are not modified or deleted.
Requirements:
• macOS 14 or later
• Apple silicon Mac
• 16 GB unified memory minimum; 24 GB or more recommended
AI-generated descriptions and OCR can be incomplete or inaccurate. Review and edit results before using them for accessibility, cataloging, legal, safety, or editorial work.
