What is batch editing?
Definition
Batch editing is applying the same set of edits to many photos in one run, instead of editing each file by hand. Typical batch edits include resizing, converting format, changing a background and compressing files across a whole set.
Why it matters for sellers
A seller with dozens of products cannot afford ten minutes per photo. Batch editing turns a repeated task into one setting, so adding a new shoot to the store takes minutes instead of an afternoon.
It also makes results consistent. When every image goes through the same recipe, the size, background and format match across the catalog. Hand edits drift over time, and a drifting catalog looks uneven in a grid.
How to do it with Instasize
The Instasize Batch Photo Editor applies one edit to up to 200 photos and returns the finished set as a zip.
- Open the Batch Photo Editor and upload your photos.
- Choose the edit: background removal, a clean backdrop, a size preset or a format.
- Run the batch and wait for the set to finish.
- Download the zip and spot-check a few images, especially those with glass or fine edges.
