Description

Images are an essential element of many modern businesses due to their ability to draw attention and create a long-lasting impression. As customers begin to heavily rely on social media tools to learn about products and services, more organizations are learning the benefits of adding a visual component to their social media strategies. Because images are digital files, they cannot be edited as easily as files that contain textual data. Also, because they are larger in size, they can eat away at available hard drive space and create bottlenecks in networks. Developers and designers must deal with editing and converting many images by hand, which can be time consuming.

Automate Desktop's Image action consists of activities that can greatly reduce the time it takes to perform such a process. For example, you can create a single task that reduces the size of an image, applies a filter for a particular effect and converts the image file to the desired format. In addition, you can integrate loop related activities to run this task on hundreds or thousands of images.
