macOS Automator Workflows — Finder Quick Actions

Personal collection of macOS Automator workflows exposed as Finder Quick Actions for batch-processing images and PDFs in Finder.

Built to keep filenames consistent across folder-based file management — normalising extensions, sequencing scans, and handling common PDF tasks without leaving Finder.

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/Karl-Horning/macos-automator-workflows.git

Open any .workflow file to install it via Automator. Installed workflows appear as Finder Quick Actions.

Usage

Select files in Finder, then right-click → Quick Actions → choose a workflow.

Warning: Many image workflows modify files in place with no undo. Duplicate files first if unsure. See individual workflow READMEs for exact behaviour.
