Macs are an Essential Tool for many people to do a plethora of things. You can perform many tasks on one entity or perform multiple tasks on a single entity. But sometimes performing the same task again and again can become tedious, like resizing multiple images. To help the users with this problem, Mac has a feature called an Automator. Let us see what an Automator is in Mac & where can we use it.
When we are performing certain tasks, we tend to repeat them. Like say if you want to do a certain task, let’s say resizing an image, for multiple images. You would select an image, resize it and then move on to the next one. Automators in Macs allows the user to make Workflows or automated Scripts that will make the Mac itself perform this task multiple times. You will be able to create an Automator of 8 types, i.e. Workflow, Application, Quick Action, Print Plugin, Folder Action, Calender Alarm, Image Capture Plugin, and Dictation Command. Here are what each of these types will do:
In essence, an Automator will automate a certain task of the user for N number of times. Let’s see it with an example below.
A user wants to change an image type from the current extension of that image to JPEG as well as wants to resize it. Now, these two tasks on their own are time-consuming, let alone for multiple images. So here are the steps to use Automator for this task.
As you can see, Automators can make performing tasks on multiple files in Mac very easy. The Best way to understand and master it is to mess around and see what each Action can do. The more you explore the better the understanding you will get about it. This was all about Automators in Mac. Hopefully, this guide has provided you with a basic understanding of this feature in Mac. You can check our guides on Inspect Element On Mac Monterey & Download And Install Old MacOS.
