“Batch” in desktop Photoshop means an action over a folder. In this browser tool it means a repeatable loop: same crop intent, same export type, next file. The picker is still one still at a time. That is honesty, not a hidden multi-upload. If you need a true multi-select queue, that is a different product; do not read this page as a ZIP-in, ZIP-out GPU farm. What does scale is discipline. Name files SKU-angle-color before you start. Keep a sibling folder for PNG masters. After isolation, a second pass through Image Resizer (same pixel box every time) and Image Compressor (same quality) makes a marketplace ZIP you build yourself. Mixed HEIC and JPEG? Decode HEIC here or convert first so the set is uniform. Privacy is why this loop exists. A 200-SKU drop should not sit on a stranger’s disk overnight. Your CPU will be slower than a rented A100. That is the trade. Event galleries and real-estate interiors are the same pattern — sequential, local, consistent naming.

Throughput without pretending we ingested the folder

Plan the spec once: PNG master, then JPEG-on-white if Amazon. Sticky-note the long-edge pixel target (2000 is common). Work left to right through the folder. If a still fails (glass, matching-color wall), skip and reshoot — do not lower quality for the whole set. Memory: huge 40 MP stills may hitch on a phone; use a laptop for the marathon. Closing the tab mid-loop loses the in-memory bitmap, not your downloads folder. Pair with the product spoke for white-field rules and the Shopify spoke for theme widths. This page is the operations manual for volume, not a second neural net.

How it works

  1. 1

    Stage names and a destination folder

    SKU-consistent filenames. Create an “isolated” directory so originals and PNGs do not mix.

  2. 2

    Isolate, download, next

    Same tab. Proof one hero SKU at 100% before you grind through 80 variants. Glass and poly bags will still fail individually.

  3. 3

    Normalize pixels and bytes as a second loop

    Image Resizer with the same width every time, then Image Compressor. You zip in the OS. We do not emit a catalog archive.

Use cases

Seasonal SKU refreshes

New colors of the same pack. Isolation plus a shared white plate.

Event and conference stills

Speaker cutouts for a site grid. Sequential is fine at 30–40 files.

Photographer folder dumps

A directory from a tethered shoot. You still curate; we do not auto-pick heroes.

Marketplace cleanups

Old listings with kitchen tables. Same loop, then Seller Central replace.

Problems we solve

Expecting multi-select magic

The UI is sequential. If that is a deal-breaker, use a desktop action. If privacy is the deal, stay here.

Cloud “batch” that keeps the shoot

A progress bar on someone else’s GPU is still an upload. This loop never starts that upload.

Inconsistent edges across a set

Usually mixed lighting, not “the batch model drifted.” Reshoot outliers on the same sweep.

Trust, speed & privacy

No catalog farm

Each still lives and dies in the tab. We do not retain a folder.

Stable recipe

Same model as the hub. Volume is your repetition, not a different net.

You own the ZIP

Build it locally after downloads. No mystery archive from us.
