About
Flexible, super-powerful batch image processing for your Mac.
Retrobatch is a flexible, node-based batch image processor, which means you can mix, match, and combine different operations to create your ideal workflow.
# This is supercharging
Each option has its own node. Change DPI, rotate, apply machine learning, add custom behavior using javascript - just to name a few. Optimize your images for fast online delivery.
# Batch processing
Process a single image or thousands of images, supporting reading and writing of common file formats. Create multiple inputs and multiple outputs.
# Metadata - editing, adding and erasing
- Delete and add location data such as GPS coordinates.
- Add copyright tags, author information, and more to your images.
- Remove all metadata tags before uploading images to social networking sites.
- Filter images by size, megapixels, file format and more.
- All this can be done without changing or re-compressing the image data, maintaining its 100% fidelity.
# Transform - resize, crop, crop and rotate.
- Trim transparency around the edges of images.
- Rotate images by any amount.
- Crop images by a fixed amount, percentage of width or height, snap to edges or by aspect ratio.
- Image scaling and recording optimized @2x versions of images.
- Retrobatch is great for quickly preparing images for website and app development.
# Conversion - color profiles, formats and much more.
- Convert images to HEIC, JPEG, JPEG-XL, PDF, PNG, WebP or TIFF.
- Convert HEIC images to JPEG and other formats.
- Edit, assign or remove color profiles from images.
- Assign images to Display P3 profiles and record them with the _dp3 suffix.
- Convert images to CMYK, sRGB, Display P3 or grayscale.
- Brute force splitting of PNG files or creation of indexed 8-bit PNG images.
- Split and split multi-page and multi-layered images into separate images.
# Watermarks - text and images.
- Use Retrobatch to watermark images in a variety of ways.
- Customize the watermark transparency, blending mode and position.
- Use metadata tags for watermarks, including image capture date, file name, author, and more.
# Photo effects, filters and blur.
- Apply filters such as Film Grain, Grayscale, Chrome, Fade, Instant, Mono, Noir, Process, Sepia, Tonal and Transfer.
- Add borders and shadows to images.
- Add Gaussian or box blur.
- Remove noise from photos or use sharpening filters.
- Use the Matte node to remove transparency from images.
- Invert color negatives or create color negatives.
# Machine learning and super resolution
- Ultra-high resolution image scaling, created using alien technology that no one really understands.
- Automatically straighten images using the new Auto Level node.
- Recognition of text in images and filtering of images using the Rules node or javascript.
- Use rules to remove images from your workflow based on attributes such as color profile, file format, size, and orientation.
- Take advantage of machine learning to classify images for processing.
# javascript and automation
- Launch Retrobatch workflows using shortcuts.
- Create and distribute custom plugins written in JavaScript.
- Writing scripts to extract or change metadata.
- Use the Core Image and Cocoa APIs to draw watermarks or borders on images.
# Screenshots, symlinks, clipboard.
- Monitor your clipboard and automatically start a workflow when a new image is copied to it.
- Create a workflow to capture all open windows on your Mac and record them as single PNGs or layered PSDs.
- Export all your selfies from Photos, resize and apply filters.
- Split images from animated GIFs, PNGs, multi-page TIFF files, PDF pages and ICNS files into individual images.
- Read an image from the clipboard, apply a drop shadow, and write it back to the clipboard for pasting into another application.
- Read an image from the clipboard, add a watermark and write it to a folder for uploading to an online service.
