Batch Processing

Solixync processes images in batches, allowing you to optimize multiple photos at once. This is essential for efficiently handling product catalogs of any size.

What is a Batch?

A batch is a group of images processed together with the same settings:

• Same platform selection: All images in a batch export to the same platforms
• Shared workflow: Upload, adjust, and process as a unit
• Organized results: Downloads grouped together
• Progress tracking: Monitor the entire batch as one job

Creating a Batch

Upload Images

Start by uploading your images:

• Multiple files: Select multiple images at once (limits vary by plan)
• Drag and drop: Drop files directly into the upload area
• File browser: Click to select from your computer

All uploaded images become part of one batch.

Select Platforms

Choose target platforms for the entire batch:

• All images will be optimized for every selected platform
• Each image generates one export per platform
• 5 images × 3 platforms = 15 total exports

Adjust (Optional)

Preview and adjust images before processing:

• Auto mode: AI handles positioning for all images
• Manual mode: Adjust individual images as needed
• Skip adjustment: Go straight to processing

Start Processing

Click process to begin:

• Images enter the processing queue
• Background removal runs on each image
• Exports generated for all selected platforms
• Progress updates in real-time

During Processing

Progress Tracking

Monitor your batch as it processes:

• Overall progress: Percentage of batch complete
• Image status: See which images are queued, processing, or done
