Image Capture

Image Capture is an application program developed by Apple Inc. It has been included with all versions of Mac OS X (now macOS) and can be found in the Applications folder.

Usage
Image Capture can be set up to download images from the user's digital camera or mobile device to the hard drive automatically, as soon as the device is plugged in. Alternatively, the application can be launched directly and the downloading be done by the user's own individual selections. Image Capture also supports scanners.

Image Capture also provides a significant number of options and automated tasks. For example, the user can set a size at which the imported pictures are to be saved, or a web page can be created automatically.

Photos for macOS (formerly iPhoto for Mac OS X) has image transfer capabilities built in, but some users still prefer Image Capture for speed and simplicity.
