Batch Image Processing: A Workflow for Content Teams
Content teams process hundreds of images weekly. The traditional workflow — upload to cloud, wait, download — is slow, expensive, and risky. Here’s a better way.
The Old Way vs The New Way
| Step | Old (Cloud API) | New (Browser) |
|---|---|---|
| Upload 50 images | 5-10 minutes | 0 seconds |
| Process | 2-5 minutes | 1-2 minutes |
| Download | 2-3 minutes | Instant |
| Privacy risk | High | Zero |
| Cost | $5-20/month | $0 |
