Photographers and teams preparing groups of images for websites, documents, or catalogs can use a repeatable batch workflow for common edits. ImBatch builds an ordered task list that applies resizing, conversion, watermarks, and other image operations across multiple files.
Build and reuse an ordered task list
Add processing tasks to a list, arrange them in the order they should run, and adjust their parameters. Tasks can be turned off temporarily, repeated, or undone and redone while building the sequence. Saved task lists let you return to the same set of operations for later batches.
For separate outputs from the same source image, a Reset to Original task lets the sequence return to the original before applying another set of edits. A Filter task can limit processing to images matching specified conditions. ImBatch is multithreaded and can monitor selected folders to process new images with saved tasks.
Resize, convert, and refine image batches
The task collection covers practical edits such as resizing, rotating, flipping, cropping, adjusting color, sharpening, reducing noise, and removing red-eye. Resize settings include target dimensions and DPI; canvas tasks can crop or extend an image to fit a specified rectangle or aspect ratio.
Watermark tasks place an image or text over each image, with settings for details such as position, size, orientation, and transparency. Other tasks add frames, rounded corners, shadows, reflections, or image effects such as sepia and Gaussian blur. Image conversion options include grayscale and saving images to PDF; a separate task can combine images into an animated GIF.
Handle image metadata and file output
EXIF and IPTC tasks can set, copy, shift, or remove metadata values across a batch. Rename can use metadata and file or image attributes, while Set DPI changes the resolution metadata. Output tasks can save, copy, or delete files, and a contact-sheet task arranges image thumbnails in rows and columns for review.
ImBatch also includes tasks for scanned material, including deskewing text and stitching overlapping scan sections into one image. For photographic sets, Panorama joins photos taken from one point in different directions.
Pros
- Reorder, disable, and reuse tasks in a saved processing sequence
- Add image or text watermarks with adjustable placement and transparency
- Edit or remove EXIF/IPTC tags in batches
- Create PDFs, contact sheets, and animated GIFs from images
Can ImBatch apply several edits to each image in one pass?
Yes. Arrange multiple tasks in a processing list; ImBatch runs them in order on the batch.
Can a batch add a watermark to every image?
Yes. Use the image-watermark or text-watermark task and set its placement and appearance.
Can ImBatch edit EXIF or IPTC information in bulk?
Yes. Tasks can set or remove tags, and Shift Time adjusts date and time tags.
