Batch edit photos
To batch edit photos, you first select them, then choose what settings will be applied, and finally, choose where you want to save the edited images.
To process multiple photos at a time:
- In the Photos or the Files browser, navigate to a folder with the photos you'll be editing.
- Tap Select in the top-right corner of the screen. If you're working in the Files browser using Portrait orientation on your iPhone, tap More
to find the Select option. - Select the photos you’d like to edit.
- Tap Edit Images at the bottom of the screen.
Choose from your pinned batch workflows or tap More Workflows to see all available workflows or create new ones.
Tap Apply to start automatically editing photos.
- Once your photos have been edited, choose where you'd like to save them.
Important: The photos edited in batch don’t keep the nondestructive edits by default. To be able to fine-tune the photos after they have been edited, make sure the "Preserve Edits" option is turned on in the workflow settings.
Alternatively, you can tap Export and select PHOTO as the export file format.
Create a custom batch workflow
