ImBatch – The Best in Batch Image Processing

ImBatch cover

ImBatch is a free multithreaded image processing tool for your Windows PC. With the help of ImBatch, users can perform a variety of complex image editing tasks; applying those changes to hundreds of images at once. Whether you’re looking to crop, resize, rotate, add/remove tags or convert image format, ImBatch provides users with dozens of editing tools.


Build Tasks for Automatic Editing

What sets ImBatch apart from other image processors is our task building environment. By combining different image editing tasks, ImBatch lets you design your own unique image editing projects. Ranging from simple to complex, there is virtually no limit to the variety of “builds” that you can create and process in batch with ImBatch’s help. Since ImBatch lets you save builds, the more you use it the faster it becomes. Equipped with the ability to monitor specified folders, ImBatch can automatically access those builds and apply edits saving you time and money. For more information on how to use ImBatch checkout our How-to section.


Batch Image Processing Professionals

We are experts in batch image processing. If you have any difficulties with setting ImBatch for your needs, we can help! Just contact us and let us know your needs. It will be useful if you'll provide us with the sample original and processed image, so we can adapt those changes for a bulk processing. Almost any batch image processing task is possible to implement with ImBatch. One important note. Yes, we can automate your image processing tasks, but we don't work for free :)


Featured Tasks


Feature 1

What makes this tool different from other batch image processors is its “Task Structure”. You can combine Tasks to make a processing sequence that will give you exactly what you want. ImBatch offers many imaging functions (Tasks) like converting, resizing or applying watermark. You can change the order of tasks, add some tasks twice or more (for example, to convert images to JPEG and PNG in one go), turn off/on tasks to exclude/include them from the task processing list, hide some task parameters, leaving only the necessary ones. Also you can undo/redo all changes made in Task List.

Task name Description
Batch Save As Image task Save As Saves the currently processed image to the file. If previous tasks in the Task List don't change the current image and File Type parameter is set to <Original File Type>, then image will be just copied to the new location without change.
Batch Resize Image task Resize
Resizes the current image. The content of the image stretches to a new size. You can set new size and value for DPI (number of pixels per inch). The image size can be set in millimeters, centimeters or inches. Also you can set Filter parameter to appropriate resampling interpolation algorithm. Read more about batch image resizing.
Batch Image Rotate task Rotate
Rotates the current image through the specific angle (from 0 to 359 degrees). Also you can apply antialiasing for the resulting image and set color for background.

Adds a soft shadow to the image. If Adapt Size parameter is set, then image will be resized to contain the shadow. Also you can set color for the shadow (black by default) and its intensity.
Batch Image Flip task Flip
Flips (mirrors) the current image across the horizontal and/or vertical axis (flipping is not the same as rotation).

Supported Image Formats


Feature 2

These days every camera seems to have its own native image format, and these file types don’t always play nice with each other. The good news is that ImBatch is capable of handling just about any image format you can imagine. ImBatch integrates seamlessly with your source images whether they originate as BMP, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, PNG or J2K. You might be thinking “Yeah but - what about exceptionally rare formats?” ImBatch lets you work with those as well by featuring powerful format conversion technology that lets you actually change your image files from one format to another. Further, ImBatch includes three different plug-ins (DCRaw, ImageMagick, and JBig) that serve to vastly extend the number of formats it’s able to recognize.

Preview Edits in Real-time


Feature 3

Whether you’re applying one filter at a time, or creating a complex multi-task build, there’s always something fun to be done with our batch image processor. As creative as some folks might be though, it’s helpful to see how some changes will appear before their actually made. With the help of the Preview Pane users can see how their images will look with different tasks applied to them.


Save/Load Your Favorite Batch Tasks


Feature 4

Saving and loading your favorite task builds is as easy as referencing the .bsv file used to store them on your computer. Each .bsv file represents a unique set of batch processing instructions that ImBatch understands and uses to automatically recall previous operations for reuse in new projects.


Windows Context Menu Integration


Feature 5

One of our newer features, this exciting option lets you take previously saved task builds and add them to your Explorer context menu. In so doing, you unlock the convenience of being able to right-click any image on your hard drive and apply edits that are based on saved task builds. Without even needing to open ImBatch first, you’ll be able to take advantage of frequently used tasks through speedy, accurate, automatic edits. To know how it works, please see this video tutorial.


Access the Command Line


Feature 6

Are you a content manager or server administrator? Like rolling up your sleeves and working directly within the command prompt environment? ImBatch lets advanced users work directly with the command line to enact whisper-quiet, behind the scenes image edits. This allows you to save time and perform complex operations without interrupting the workflow of others around you.

ImBatch usage:

ImBatch.exe [-h [NotSilent]] [-b "SavedTasksFile.bsv"] [-i "ImageFiles"] [-r] [-c]

Parameter Description
-h Does not show ImBatch's main window. In this mode, if you don't also set -r parameter, ImBatch will not work and automatically terminate after the start. If there is a NotSilent parameter, then an information window will appear in the end of processing.
-b "SavedTasksFile.bsv" Automatically loads tasks from SavedTasksFile.bsv file.
-i "ImageFiles" Automatically loads images, specified in ImageFiles part. ImageFiles must be quoted and separated by "|" character without any spaces.
-r Automatically runs batch image processing.
-c Automatically closes ImBatch on finish.


Also you can write parameters into the text file, where each parameter must be placed on a separate line. Then you must send this file prefixed with @ and enclosed with quotation marks to ImBatch in following form:

ImBatch.exe "@ParamsFileName"

Also ImBatch supports Unicode symbols, so it can be localized to any language.

And one more thing: ImBatch is absolutely FREE for personal usage!
