Riverflow Batch lets you apply the same edit action to many images at once.
Use Batch when the task is repeatable: changing formats, translating ads, swapping products, updating artwork, recolouring elements, or cleaning up product images across a set of assets.
If you only need to make a careful change to one image, use Edit Images instead.
When To Use Batch
Batch is useful when you want to:
change many images to a new aspect ratio
translate a set of image ads into another language
swap a new product into the same approved scene across many SKUs
update new artwork onto an existing pack at scale
clean up product shots for PDPs, marketplaces, or retailer submissions
recolour a repeated element across a campaign set
apply the same prompt-led edit to many images
Batch works best when the instruction is clear and repeatable. If the inputs are very different, split them into smaller batches so each batch has a more consistent task.
Choose A Batch Action
When you create a Batch job, Riverflow asks you to choose an action. The action controls what Riverflow will do to every selected input.
Change Background Color
Use this when you want to change the background to a specific colour using generative editing.
This is useful when the current background is not a clean flat colour, or when you need the result to still feel natural after the colour change. Riverflow can adapt the surrounding image so the new background works with the product, shadows, and scene.
Use this for:
changing a campaign background colour
making a background feel closer to a brand colour
updating a styled image where a simple flat colour replacement would look wrong
If the background is already simple and you only need a solid colour, use Set Background Color (FREE) instead.
Set Background Color (FREE)
Use this when you want to replace the background with a solid HEX colour.
This is best for simple product images where the background is already clean or close to the target colour. It is useful for quick PDP, ecommerce, or marketplace formatting jobs.
Use this for:
setting a clean white, black, grey, or brand-colour background
standardising simple product images
creating fast solid-background variants without a generative edit
This action is not designed for complex scene changes. If the original background is detailed, uneven, or needs to stay realistic, use Change Background Color.
Translate Ad To New Language
Use this when you want to translate visible copy in an image ad while keeping the creative as intact as possible.
This is useful for localising approved ad creative across markets. Riverflow aims to preserve the layout, product, imagery, and design while translating the text.
After generation, review:
translated meaning
line breaks
brand terms
product claims
legal or market-specific wording
whether the translated copy still fits the design
Set Camera Angle
Use this when you want Riverflow to create outputs from a specific camera angle.
This is useful when you need a consistent set of views, such as front, side, top-down, close-up, or three-quarter angle images. It can help create more controlled variants from a strong source image.
Use this for:
creating product-gallery style views
changing the viewpoint of a scene image
producing a more consistent angle across a set of assets
Review product shape, label detail, and perspective carefully, especially for packaging.
Freestyle Prompt
Use this when you want to apply the same written instruction across many images.
This is the most flexible Batch action. It is useful when the change is clear enough to describe in a prompt and repeat across every selected input.
Use this for:
adding or removing a prop
changing the setting
making a repeated creative adjustment
applying a campaign direction across many images
creating a custom edit that does not fit another action
Keep the prompt specific. Tell Riverflow what to change, what to preserve, and what the final image should look like.
Example:
Add fresh mango slices beside the product. Preserve the product, label, camera angle, lighting, and background colour. Keep the result realistic and commercial.
Recolor Element
Use this when you want to change the colour of a specific element while keeping the image realistic.
This is useful when colour is the main variable. You can supply a HEX colour reference so Riverflow knows the exact colour direction.
Use this for:
changing a prop colour
creating SKU or flavour colour variants
matching an element to a brand colour
changing part of the image without changing the whole background
Review that only the intended element changed. Check that product labels, logos, skin tones, shadows, and materials have not shifted by accident.
Swap Product Into Scene
Use this when you want to replace the product in an existing scene with a different product.
This is useful when you already like the composition and want to reuse it across multiple SKUs. Riverflow keeps the useful structure of the scene and adapts the product into it, including lighting, colour tone, and scale where possible.
Use this for:
scaling an approved scene across many products
swapping flavour variants into the same creative direction
creating consistent SKU sets from one strong image
adapting a scene to different products without starting from a new Photoshoot
If you want to create new images inspired by a scene rather than swap into an existing asset, use Create Photoshoots.
Change Aspect Ratio
Use this when you want to turn existing images into new formats, such as 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, or landscape.
Riverflow analyses the input image and works out how to extend, crop, or reframe it in a tasteful way. You can also add more specific direction if you know what should stay centred or what the new space should contain.
Use this for:
creating paid social formats from one source image
adapting PDP images into ad formats
producing portrait, square, and landscape versions of a campaign image
resizing many approved assets at once
Review that the product stays fully visible and important text or logos are not cropped.
Clean Up Product Shot
Use this when you want a clean product image with a plain white background.
This action is designed for product shots that need to look simple, centred, and ready for ecommerce use. It removes extra visual noise and aims to keep the product centre-framed.
Use this for:
PDP product shots
marketplace submissions
retailer image requirements
cleaning uploaded product images before using them elsewhere in Riverflow
Review the product edge, label, colour, and proportions before using the result.
Correct Product Details
Use this when the product details need to be fixed or updated.
This is useful when labels, logos, pack text, artwork, shape, colour, or fine packaging details need to match a source reference more closely. It can also be used to apply new artwork onto an existing pack at scale.
Use this for:
fixing inaccurate label details
applying updated artwork to an existing pack
improving pack fidelity after generation
making SKU-specific packaging details more accurate
Provide the clearest source-of-truth reference you have. Review the result carefully for label text, artwork placement, logo shape, pack structure, and any unwanted redesign.
Change Shadows And Lighting
Use this when the image is broadly right but the shadows or lighting need to change.
This is useful for making a product feel more naturally placed in a scene, matching a campaign lighting direction, or correcting an image that feels too flat, harsh, or inconsistent.
Use this for:
changing the lighting mood
improving product integration in a scene
making shadows feel more realistic
matching a set of images to a similar lighting direction
Review that the product colour, material, and label details remain accurate after the lighting change.
Before You Start
Before creating a Batch job, make sure you have:
access to Batch for the selected brand
the input images you want to process
any required references, such as product images, artwork files, or colour values
enough team credits for the job
a clear description of the output you want
Start A Batch Job
Select the correct brand.
Open
Batchfrom the app navigation.Create a new Batch job.
Choose the action you want to run.
Select the input images.
Add any required references, prompts, colours, languages, ratios, or action settings.
Set the output plan.
Review the credit estimate.
Start the job.
Each selected input becomes a batch item. Depending on the action, each item can produce one or more outputs.
Choose Inputs
You can run Batch on images from places such as:
folders
Photoshoots
Images
previous Batch outputs
products
uploaded assets
Choose inputs that are consistent enough for the same action. For example, if you are changing background colour, group images with similar backgrounds together. If you are applying new artwork, group images that use the same pack format together.
Add References Or Settings
Some actions need extra information before they can run.
Examples:
Change Background Colorneeds the target colour.Set Background Color (FREE)needs the target HEX colour.Translate Ad To New Languageneeds the target language.Recolor Elementneeds the element to change and the target colour.Swap Product Into Sceneneeds the product to swap in.Correct Product Detailsneeds the product, artwork, label, or packaging reference to follow.Change Aspect Rationeeds the target format.Freestyle Promptneeds the prompt that should be applied across the batch.
Use the clearest references you have. If a reference has a specific job, say so in the prompt or action setup.
Example:
Use the supplied artwork file as the source of truth for the front label only. Preserve the pack shape, material, angle, lighting, and shadows from each input image.
Set The Output Plan
The output plan controls how many outputs Riverflow creates for each input.
For example:
10 input images x 1 output variant = 10 outputs
10 input images x 3 output variants = 30 outputs
Use clear output labels where available, such as 9:16 crop, Spanish translation, Blue background, or New artwork.
Confirm Credits And Start
Before the job starts, Riverflow shows the selected action, number of items, expected outputs, credit estimate, maximum credit usage, and available credits.
Review this before starting the job. If the job needs more credits than your team has available, Riverflow will block the run so you do not start a job that cannot complete.
You can leave the page while the job runs. Riverflow will email you when results are ready for review.
Review Outputs
Open Batch to see previous and in-progress jobs. A job can show whether it is queued, running, ready for review, completed, failed, or cancelled.
In the review screen, use the tabs to filter outputs, such as:
To ReviewGeneratingFlaggedApprovedRejectedAll
Open an output to compare it with the source image. Check the generated result, source inputs, AI recommendation, score, status, and any available judgement summary.
Approve, Reject, Or Retry
For each completed output, choose:
Approveif the result is ready to useRejectif the result should not be usedRetryafter rejecting, if you want Riverflow to generate another attempt for that output
You can also use Approve all to approve all currently visible reviewable outputs. This follows the active filter, so check which tab you are viewing before confirming.
Export Outputs
After approving or rejecting outputs, use Export in the Batch review screen.
You can export:
all reviewed outputs
approved outputs only
rejected outputs only
Use approved exports for final creative handoff. Use rejected exports when you want to review problems, share feedback, or keep a record of outputs that should not be used.
Tips
Start with a small test batch when using a new action.
Use clear, high-quality inputs.
Group similar inputs together.
Add references that show product, artwork, colour, or visual detail clearly.
Use specific prompts and settings.
Review a sample before approving a large set.
Troubleshooting
I Cannot Start The Job
Check that you selected at least one input, completed all required settings, and have enough credits.
The Job Is Still Running
Large batches can take longer because every input and output variant needs to process. You can leave the page and return from Batch later.
Some Outputs Failed
Open the job and review the failed items. You may need to retry, reduce the batch size, improve the references, or adjust the action settings before running again.
Approve All Is Disabled
There may be no reviewable outputs in the current filter, or outputs may still be generating. Switch to To Review or All, then refresh.
Export Is Disabled
Export becomes available after outputs have review decisions. Approve or reject the outputs you want to include, then try again.
