How to Batch Convert Images in Photoshop

Method 1: Batch Convert to JPG with Image Processor

Open File > Scripts > Image Processor in Photoshop. This is the simplest built-in route when you want JPEG copies without first recording an Action. You can process a source folder or images already open in Photoshop.

• Choose the source in section 1 and a separate destination in section 2. Include subfolders only when they belong in the job.
• In File Type, enable Save as JPEG and choose Quality. Enable Resize to Fit only when smaller delivery dimensions are required; leave it off to avoid an unnecessary size change.
• For web delivery, consider Convert Profile to sRGB and Include ICC Profile. Click Run, then inspect the JPEG output folder for color, dimensions, and compression.

Method 2: Use Actions and File > Automate > Batch

Use an Action when the job needs repeated Photoshop edits or an output such as PNG that is not offered by the standard Image Processor. Record the sequence on a test copy first, including the intended saving operation and Close when needed.

• Open Window > Actions, create a new Action, record the required edit and save operation, and stop recording. Check that it works on a second representative image.
• Choose File > Automate > Batch, select the Set and Action, choose the source, and use a separate Folder destination. Choose a naming rule that keeps every output unique.
• If the Action contains Save As, use Override Action “Save As” Commands when the Batch destination should control the filename and folder. The override requires a recorded Save As step; it does not create one.

Save and Close in Photoshop Batch can overwrite originals. Use a separate output folder while testing.
