All features / Batch image processing
Rename a whole folder of images with a preview first
Batch rename changes the names of the files you select. Because it edits the original filenames rather than writing copies, the confirmation screen and numbering rule deserve a careful look before you run it.
WORKFLOW
How it fits your workflow
Check the preview and numbering rule
Back up before renaming
Cancel mid-run without losing finished files
Practical details before you begin
Most image operations write to a separate output folder; rename changes the original filenames. Review the confirmation screen before running, and test on two or three files first — one landscape, one portrait, one square.
You can cancel mid-run: files already processed are kept and the rest are skipped. Hundreds of images take a while and a progress bar is shown, so do not start another heavy job at the same time.
PRACTICAL GUIDE
How do I rename hundreds of images without making a mess?
Choose Batch rename in the Batch menu, check the target folder and naming rule, then read the preview and numbering on the confirmation screen. It changes the selected filenames directly — unlike image operations that write to a separate output folder — which is why the manual asks you to back up first.
Will renaming overwrite my images?
It does not overwrite image content, but it does change the original filenames. The manual explicitly says to back up first and to read the preview and numbering rule rather than guessing from the rule name.
What if I spot a wrong rule halfway through?
Cancel mid-run: already processed files are kept and the rest are skipped. Test one landscape, one portrait and one square image first, then run the whole batch once the names look right.
STEP BY STEP
How to use it in the software
What batch processing does
The Batch menu groups commands by purpose:
Format conversion: turn a set of images into another format
Resize: maximum dimensions, fixed width or height, exact dimensions, or a padded canvas
File-size limits: compress alone, or limit both dimensions and file size
E-commerce fit: standardise dimensions and padding for product photos
Watermark / auto beautify: apply one mark or look to a set of photos
Batch rename: changes the selected files' names. Check the folder and naming rule first

Three things before running a batch
1. Test on two or three first: one landscape, one portrait, one square. Run the full batch only when happy
2. Check the output folder: image operations usually create one; read any same-name-folder warning before continuing
3. Back up before renaming: rename changes the original filenames. Check the preview and numbering rule
Cancelling
You can cancel mid-run. Files already processed are kept; the rest are skipped.
