Automation
Run one AI tool on many images with a batch, chain tools into saved workflows, or run a ready-made recipe on products.
Studio has three ways to do the same AI work on many images. A batch runs one tool on a set of images, once. A workflow chains several steps, such as remove background, upscale and save, and can run again whenever new images arrive. A recipe is a ready-made workflow that you run on products you select.
Which one to use
| You want to | Use | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Run one tool on a folder of photos or a list of image URLs, once | A batch | AI Tools, then a batch tool such as Batch background removal |
| Run the same steps every time, by hand or automatically on upload, on a schedule, from another system or when a product changes | A workflow | Flows in the sidebar |
| Run a standard clean-up, such as Clean & Upscale or Amazon Main Image Prep, on selected products | A recipe | The Products page: select products, then Run recipe… |
All three use the same AI tools and the same credit prices as a single run. See AI tools for prices.
