How to Batch Convert Images for a Website
Plan a repeatable batch image conversion workflow for website launches, redesigns, migrations, and product catalogues.
Batch conversion works best when you define the rules before touching the files. Decide which images need resizing, which format the website accepts, what quality setting is acceptable, and how files should be named.
A repeatable batch plan
- Back up original images.
- Sort files by purpose, such as hero, product, thumbnail, or article.
- Resize each group to useful dimensions.
- Convert delivery copies to WebP when supported.
- Keep fallback JPG or PNG files only where required.
- Test a few pages before replacing every image.
ImgKit’s Batch Image Converter is the Pro workflow for repeatable folder exports.
Folder Rules To Decide First
A good batch run is predictable because the inputs are grouped before conversion. Keep hero images, product gallery images, thumbnails, article images, and social previews in separate folders when they need different sizes.
Use a simple rule sheet before exporting:
| Image group | Example size | Best format | Naming rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hero images | 1800-2400px wide | WebP or JPG | descriptive page name |
| Product gallery | 1200px square | WebP plus JPG fallback | product SKU and angle |
| Blog images | 1200-1600px wide | WebP | article slug and position |
| Thumbnails | 400-800px wide | WebP | parent item plus thumb |
Check A Small Sample First
Run 5-10 files through the final settings before processing a full catalogue. Check file size, visual quality, transparency, and whether filenames still match the pages or product records that reference them.
For client handoff or migration work, keep a report with original size, output size, and savings. It makes QA easier and gives the next person a plain record of what changed.
FAQ
Should I batch convert originals directly?
No. Keep originals untouched and create a separate export folder for website delivery files.
What should I decide before batch converting?
Decide target dimensions, output format, quality, naming rules, and where fallback formats are required.
