What ImBatch is

ImBatch is a Windows image-processing tool for applying editing tasks to groups of images. Users can assemble tasks into reusable processing projects, change their order, and enable or disable individual tasks. It can monitor specified folders and apply saved task builds automatically to new images. A Preview Pane shows how images will look before processing, and task builds can be added to the Windows Explorer context menu for right-click use. The software also provides silent command-line processing and an FTP task for uploading processed images. Supported formats include BMP, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, PNG, and J2K, with DCRaw, ImageMagick, and JBig plug-ins. The download page lists Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11, in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Free personal use is available, but commercial use requires a license. The Personal License costs 39.95 USD one time for personal, educational, or nonprofit use on up to two computers by the same individual. Commercial and site licenses are also listed.
