Google Photos bulk editing: Enhance, Filter, Crop, and more

Batch is a Chrome extension that adds bulk editing to Google Photos: Enhance, Filter, Crop, Rotate, Add Description, or Revert hundreds of photos at once. A single edit is easy. Two hundred is the problem. Built for trips, family albums, large wedding albums, real estate listings, product photos, and shared albums. Everything runs inside Google Photos, nothing uploaded.
Batch for Google Photos
Hi Product Hunt,
I’m Yair. I built Batch because of family trips.
I’d come back with hundreds of photos, send a handful of curated favorites to the family thread, then share a larger Google Photos album with grandparents so they could browse everything.
I take pride in my photos and want the album to feel good as a whole. But that usually meant one of three things:
• Open each photo and hit Enhance and Save one by one
• Share the album before it looked as good as I wanted
• Add it to my task list and never get around to it
I searched for a better way and kept finding old threads from Google Photos users asking for bulk edit, batch enhance, batch rotate, batch descriptions, and batch revert. Some of these requests have been around since 2019.
Google Photos has more than 500 million monthly active users, and roughly 210 million people edit photos every month. That is a lot of people still doing repetitive photo edits one at a time.
So I built Batch.
Two things that mattered while building it:
1) Batch uses Google Photos’ own editor. It automates the repeat work you would otherwise do manually, photo by photo.
2) Your photos never leave Google Photos. Everything runs inside Google Photos, nothing uploaded.
Also worth saying clearly: Batch is not for every photo or every edit. It is not Lightroom, and it does not make creative decisions for every image. It is built for the photos you’d never edit one by one: trips, family albums, real estate listings, product photos, shared albums, and anywhere doing the same edit 200 times is the problem.
The workflow I wanted was simple: apply the same baseline edit across the whole batch first, then fine-tune the handful of photos that deserve individual attention.
For Product Hunters: code PRODUCTHUNT20 gets you 20% off Plus or Pro for the life of your subscription. Expires Friday.
I’d love feedback from people who use Google Photos heavily:
• Which batch action would you want next?
• What broke or felt confusing?
• Where would Batch fit into your photo workflow?
I’ll be in the comments today. Thanks for checking it out.
