ImBatch is a FREE batch image processing tool for Windows. ImBatch features an excellent user interface that’s easy to use and understand and can convert, resize, rotate and carry out other operations on lots of images in a single operation.
|
Batch Tasks List
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 |
|---|
 |
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. |
 |
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. |
 |
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. |
 |
Soft Shadow |
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. |
 |
Flip |
Flips (mirrors) the current image across the horizontal and/or vertical axis (flipping is not the same as rotation). |
 |
Round Corners |
Makes corners of the current image rounded. Round Width and Round Height parameters specify the round size of the image. Read the article How to Round Image Corners in Bulk for more details. |
 |
Convert Colors |
Increases or reduces the number of colors for the current image to the specified value. You can choose standard predefined color numbers or set it by hand. |
 |
Convert To Gray |
Converts the current image to gray levels. This task has no parameters. |
 |
Set EXIF/IPTC Tag |
Sets value for necessary parameter of EXIF or IPTC metadata. You can even copy value from other one or more EXIF and IPTC tag. Great task for batch EXIF editing. |
 |
Remove EXIF/IPTC Tag |
Removes tags from the current image. This task can clear all IPTC and/or EXIF tags or the specified tag. Remove EXIF tags in a batch with ease! |
 |
Shift Time |
Increases or decreases specified IPTC or EXIF date/time tags. Edit EXIF date and time tags in a batch. |
 |
Add To PDF |
Saves currently processed image to an Adobe PDF file. This task allows you to set the destination Adobe PDF file name, compression for images, page size (paper format) and different PDF attributes, such as Author, Title or Keywords. |
 |
Watermark |
Adds the specified watermark image to the current image. You can set transparency, position, sizes, orientation and many other parameters for the watermark. Add watermark to your images in a batch for free! |
 |
Crop |
Gets the current image to the specified rectangle, cutting off the remaining image. This task can also extend borders of the image. |
 |
Color Adjustment |
Adjusts the current image by changing its Hue, Saturation and Lightness parameters. |
 |
Gaussian Blur |
This task performs a Gaussian Blur filter with specified radius for the current image. |
 |
Inner Shadow |
Creates a shadow in the inner border of the image. You can configure radius, x offset, y offset and color of shadow. |
 |
Publish on Facebook |
Post your photos to Facebook album in a batch mode. No more pain with adding the photos manually. Let ImBatch post your photos to Facebook for you. |
 |
3D Image |
This task allow you to rotate your images in 3D mode and add a reflection if you want. |
 |
Motion Blur |
Add "Motion Blur" effect to your selected photos in a batch mode. |
|
