Batch Image Processing Guide: Process Multiple Images at Once


Processing images one by one is time-consuming. Batch processing allows you to optimize hundreds or thousands of images simultaneously, saving hours of manual work.


What is Batch Image Processing?


Batch processing is the automated processing of multiple images using the same settings. Instead of manually editing each image, you set your preferences once and apply them to all images at once.
