Batch Processing

Select multiple images and import to the application, or drag and drop entire folders.

Batch process your images to quickly improve them in a group instead of working one at a time. You can let Autopilot decide on filters for you or set the filters yourself.

Below are a few options to quickly batch process your image, including:

  • Using Autopilot

Some Photo AI plugins allow importing multiple images in one session for batch processing.


With Autopilot

Open your Photo AI app and turn on Auto-Pilot:

  • For Windows: Edit menu > Preferences > Auto-Pilot and turn on the "Automatically apply filters" - Then click Save
  • For Mac: Topaz Photo AI menu > Preferences > Auto-Pilot and turn on the "Automatically apply filters" - Then click Save

Once Auto-Pilot is turned on, import all your images to Topaz Photo AI. By default, all images will have a green dot on the bottom left which indicates Autopilot is on.

Autopilot On

Once the analysis on the first file is complete, click on the "Select All" checkmark in the filmstrip. Then click on Export Images. Autopilot will begin analyzing all the other files and apply the best filters as it processes each image in the queue.


With Manual Settings

To disable Autopilot in the application, go to Preferences > Autopilot menu and disable Automatically apply filters. This will require you to add manual edits to any image that is imported to the application.

Preferences > Autopilot

To disable Autopilot for individual images, make any manual edit to the image. our settings are used for any images you changed. Autopilot will run on images with no changes.

The following manual changes turn off Autopilot for the selected image so you control the processing results:

  • Enable/disable AI filters
  • Change AI filter model used
  • Change AI model settings
  • Change subject masks
  • Select/deselect faces for face recovery
  • Crop the image
  • Resize the image
