ImBatch vs XnConvert

ImBatch is a Windows image-processing tool for applying complex task sequences to hundreds of images. Users build reusable projects, reorder tasks, and enable or disable individual steps. Watched folders can automatically process new images with a saved build. A Preview Pane shows the expected result before processing, and builds can be added to Windows Explorer for right-click use. Silent command-line operation can load task files and images, run processing, then close. The software supports formats including BMP, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, PNG and J2K, with DCRaw, ImageMagick and JBig plug-ins. It also lists RAW processing, bulk renaming, bulk resizing, FTP upload and output formats such as WebP. Downloads support Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11 in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Free personal use costs nothing; paid licenses start at 39.95 USD once.
