Retrobatch: Batch Processing Digital Media Files

A Windows application for automating batch processing of digital media files such as images, videos, and PDFs, including renaming, converting, resizing, and adding metadata.

What is Retrobatch?

Retrobatch is a powerful yet easy to use Windows application designed to automate batch operations on media files like photos, videos, audio, documents, and more. It provides an intuitive drag and drop interface to set up batch workflows that can process thousands of files with just a few clicks.

Some key features of Retrobatch include:

  • Renaming files based on custom templates
  • Converting between various formats like JPG, PNG, GIF, MP4, AVI, MP3, etc.
  • Resizing or cropping images
  • Adding watermarks and overlays
  • Setting metadata like titles, tags, dates
  • OCR to extract text from images and PDFs
  • Auto sorting into folders
  • And many more customizable actions

With its modular workflow designer, all these tasks can be strung together into an automated production line based on your needs. Complex jobs that would otherwise require hundreds of manual steps can be set up with just drag and drop. This makes Retrobatch perfect for photographers, videographers, designers and anyone with a large media library to organize and process.

It also supports integration with cloud services like Dropbox and Google Drive for directly importing and exporting to online storage. With robust error handling, logging, and incremental save options, even large batch jobs with thousands of files can be processed reliably over time without risk of crashes or data loss.
