"Batch processing" refers to the automated processing of a large number of files or tasks in a single step. Multiple operations or actions are executed at once, without the need to individually handle each file or task. This allows for efficient and time-saving processing of large amounts of data.
Typical features of software in the area of "batch processing" include:
Mass conversion: The software enables the conversion of a large number of files from one file format to another, such as from Word documents to PDFs or from images to another image format.
Bulk renaming: Users can automatically rename files by setting specific naming conventions or patterns and applying them to a multitude of files.
Bulk copying or moving: The software allows for copying or moving multiple files at once by specifying source and destination folders.
Bulk compression: Users can automatically compress files to save disk space and reduce file size by selecting and compressing multiple files simultaneously.
Bulk printing: The software enables printing a large number of files simultaneously without needing to open each file individually.
Automation of actions: The software provides means for automating repetitive tasks or actions by using scripts or macros to execute a series of steps in a batch process.
