Photobat

Photobat is an efficient and very user-friendly application that provides image batch editing capabilities. For starters, it’s worth mentioning that this is a Windows Store App, meaning that it’s been specifically designed for Windows 10 devices.

As one might expect, Photobat supports multiple popular image formats out there. These include JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, and HD Photo. What’s more, it has one of the best live preview functions of most typical editors. It allows users to edit images and view the edits in real time, as well as zoom in for greater detail.

The app’s features are neatly organized within four categories, easily accessible from the upper left side of the GUI. Users can choose from a plethora of basic and more advanced image retouching tools to work with. They can resize photos, reduce their file size while retaining quality (for web and app optimization purposes) as well as adjust aspects such as sharpness, add blur effects, vignettes, and adjust a various color related options.

Photobat also allows users to crop, rotate, and flip images, add borders, and batch rename them using custom names that include the date of creation, the last modification date, serial numbers, prefixes, and suffixes. The application provides users with the option of saving the most used settings, making the whole procedure easier for future projects.

Even though the app is designed with simplicity and user-accessibility in mind, its GUI is somewhat customizable. Users can change the display settings, change the thumbnail size for all the images, and even opt to hide the image preview altogether.

To conclude, while not revolutionary in any meaningful way, Photobat is a very good day-to-day photo editor. It looks right at home on Windows 10 devices, it has a customizable GUI, and a lot of useful photo editing options, not one of which is complicated so that the typical user can’t get to grips with.
