Is there a reasonably easy way to take these FBX model files and strip away, in batch, arbitrary stuff? Creators, timestamps, nodes of the wrong type like cameras and lights, and paths for textures?

The Advanced Guide to Photoshopping Icons Using Batch Processing

Tired of making icons one-by-one? So was I before discovering the magic of Photoshop. This comprehensive tutorial will teach you every step you need to make fantabulous icons as easily as possible! The only manual steps are resizing images and making your template for icons. I am using Photoshop CS6 for this tutorial, but CC is capable of doing the same steps, and previous versions may also be able to handle it.

If you don’t have Photoshop, go ahead and check out my GIMP tutorial! http://dancingbetweenraindrops.tumblr.com/post/167426124590/how-to-batch-process-icons-in-gimp

Tutorial under cut.

Step 1: Set up Photoshop

Open Photoshop and create a new canvas sized 100x100 or whatever size you would like your icons to be. That’s it for this step!

Step 2: Resizing Icons

Paste art or screenshots of your character into the canvas and resize them to how you’d like them to appear within the frame.

Step 3: Export Layers to Files

Select File > Scripts > Export Layers to Files. You will then be given this screen.

Make sure you have your Destination set to the file directory you’d like your icons in. I’d suggest making a dedicated folder for just these icons, as it will help in the Batch Process.

!WARNING! Only export about 50 icons at once for maximum speed. Even on my gaming computer it takes a while for more than 50 at a time. I like to have all of my icons ready to go and then delete a group of them so I’m left with only increments of 50 at a time. It’s easy to undo deleting in the history window, so just undelete the previous batch and delete the batch you just finished. For example, if I have 100 icons, I delete icons 51-100 and save the first 50. Then I step back in the history window and delete the first 50 icons and save the last 51-100. Now I’d recommend also SAVING while you have all of them cropped, just in case you mess up while deleting and can’t get them back.

Step 4: Create a template

For this step, open one of the icons you saved from the script saving.

You will notice that the icon layer says “Index” and is locked. Go to Image > Mode and select RGB color to fix this. This is the only time we’ll need to worry about this.

Now for the creative part - you can go absolutely crazy with what you want to do with the icon. Add layers, adjustment layers, whatever you want. I usually start by creating a layer beneath my icon layer (You have to double click on the icon layer and change it to layer 0 instead of background first) and making it into a 95x95 or so box centered in the middle and clipping my icon to that layer.

That gives me a nice border space for my icon. Then I add new layers above that layer to make borders, or new adjustment layers to give them cool effects. Always remember to clip the layers to each other!

One of the most common effects I see in a lot of icons is this “Film” photo filter that washes out colours and softens blacks and whites. How to achieve this look is shown below. It is done using a Curves adjustment layer.

Set it to look similar to this

Adjust as needed.

To get a straight border, use the Layer Style for the clipping layer (the layer that all the others is clipped to.) Go ahead and add a stroke, drop shadow, and whatever else you’d like to your border.

Finally, save your template as a .PSD in the same directory as your icons (for ease) and give it an easy name, such as Template.PSD.

Step 5: Create a Script

This is where it gets tricky. You need to create a script in the EXACT order I give for it to work right. Close your template and open any icon. Then, click the arrow-like tool on the toolbar. It will open the Actions tab. Go ahead and press the little file button to create a new script. Name it whatever you want and then start record.

Once the action is recording, select the icon and hit control+c or copy. Then, go to File > Open and open your template. Paste your icon on top of the default icon. It should automatically clip as long as the adjustment layers above are clipped to the mask. Otherwise, right click on the layer and clip it.

Here, I pasted Layer 2 over Layer 0, the default icon. 

Then, go to File > Save As and save your file in a subdirectory within your icon folder. Save it as 001.PNG. Make sure to select PNG and not save it as a JPEG or PSD file. Then, delete the layer you just pasted in and close the template.psd by clicking the little “x” at the top.

Finally, hit Stop Recording on the action panel.

Step 6: Batch Process

Go to File > Automate > Batch

After this, a window that looks like this will pop up

Make sure that your action is selected under Action:. Your source needs to be the folder in which you have all your icons saved. Your destination needs to be the folder you want all of your icons to save to. MAKE SURE TO CHECK “Override Action “Save As” Commands”. Finally, Go ahead and press “OK” and let Photoshop work magic!

How to Batch Process Icons in GIMP

Tutorial beneath the cut! I want to transform this account into more than just an art account - I love making aesthetics, roleplay icons, etc. So the first thing I’m going to upload is a tutorial on how to make a lot of icons really quickly using free software! I know not everyone has access to Photoshop, I figured I could help the community by offering a tutorial in how to batch icons using freeware. This will work together nicely with a few icon packs I’ll be releasing soon, including a Pokemon resource pack with hand-pixelled mini icons. I will be doing a more advanced Photoshop tutorial later on!

Step 1: Download BIMP

BIMP can be found here - https://alessandrofrancesconi.it/projects/bimp/ It is a batch processing plugin that you’ll need to install to get batch processing in GIMP. Thankfully, it comes with an installer, so all you need to do is run the installer!

Step 2: Crop screenshots and artwork for icons

Create a new image file that is the desired size of your icons. I use 100x100. Paste screenshots and artwork of your character into the frame, exporting each one as a .png with a different name. This is just how I would suggest doing it, however. If you have a preferred method of cropping icons, feel free to do it however you prefer. Just make sure the icons are square, or whichever shape you intend on using. Batch processing can resize them. Unfortunately, even with a program as powerful as Photoshop or GIMP, this is the tedious part.

Step 3: Create a template

Create a new canvas the size of your icons. This is going to be your template. Go ahead and paste one of your icons into it to test your adjustments. Add a new layer. This will be your border layer. I suggest making a border by selecting over the whole image and using the “stroke selection” option under “edit”

This brings up the option to add a stroke around the image. You can experiment with dots and dashes and full lines until you reach something you like.

I ended up adding a white screentone and changing the border to white.

Once you decide you like your border (go ahead and make it as fancy or as simple as you like!) you can hide the icon layer so you have just your border! BE SURE TO EXPORT IT AS A .PNG. The border works with transparency, so you NEED it to save it as a .PNG. .JPEG doesn’t support transparency. 

It should look like this

I decided to save it as “watermark.png” but give it any name you’ll remember.

Step 4: Batch Process!

First of all, here’s where you can find the batch process option in GIMP. Go ahead and open that up.

You’ll see a screen that looks like this

Go ahead and add all your images under “input files and options.” This is especially easy if you saved them all to a folder, in which case you can add the whole folder. Under “Manipulation set” is where you will be adding all of your batch processing. First of all, add “Add a watermark”

Make sure to select “Image watermark” and select position to center. Then select the folder icon to find your border. This is your watermark! Go ahead and add any other adjustments you’d like to the manipulation set. You can make color corrections and convert your image to black and white or resize them from there. Be sure to save everything to a new folder within your icon folder for maximum efficiency in finding them!

Result!

I hope this helped anyone wanting to make icons but not knowing how to do so efficiently!

Unfortunately, GIMP doesn’t support adjustment layers or script recording, so you can’t batch process things as complicated as Photoshop can handle, but this is perfectly sufficient for the needs of most roleplayers!

Batch Processing: Join Hundreds of PDFs in Minutes

Managing a large volume of documents is a common challenge for professionals in law, finance, education, and many other industries. When you're dealing with hundreds of individual files, combining them manually isn't just inefficient—it's almost impossible. Whether you're archiving client records or assembling multi-part reports, knowing how to join PDF files in batches can transform your workflow and save hours.

With the right tools and strategy, you can easily Join PDF files without losing order, formatting, or speed. This guide will walk you through the essentials of batch PDF merging, including bulk uploads, managing file sequences, adding page numbers, and maximizing productivity for high-volume users like accountants and legal professionals.

Why Batch Merging Matters in Professional Settings

Batch merging isn’t just about convenience—it’s a game-changer for businesses that handle large-scale documentation. Accountants often work with monthly statements for hundreds of clients. Lawyers manage case files, contracts, and exhibits that must be presented as single, organized documents.

In these environments, manually combining files is prone to error and wastes valuable time. Batch PDF merging ensures that every page is included in the right order, maintains document integrity, and allows teams to focus on more critical tasks.

Benefits of Cloud-Based Batch PDF Merging

In today’s remote and hybrid work environments, cloud-based PDF merging has become a necessity rather than a luxury. When you can upload, combine, and access documents from anywhere, you’re no longer tied to a single device or location. Platforms like gabungpdf.id allow users to combine PDF files online directly from browsers—no software installation required. This flexibility helps distributed teams collaborate more efficiently and speeds up document processing workflows.

Cloud merging also ensures that your team is always working with the most up-to-date versions of documents. You can merge PDF files online across departments, share them via cloud links, and avoid version control chaos. Best of all, with tools to combine PDFs for free, you get powerful functionality without adding to your software budget—ideal for startups, educators, and freelancers working with tight resources.

Tools That Support Batch Uploads for PDF Merging

The first step to efficient batch merging is choosing the right tool. Not every PDF editor can handle dozens—or hundreds—of files at once. Here are three popular platforms that do:

1. Gabungpdf.id

Gabungpdf.id is built with simplicity and performance in mind. Its batch upload feature allows users to drag and drop multiple files simultaneously, ideal for those needing fast and organized results.

Pros: Free, no registration, mobile-friendly, automatic sorting

Best For: Accountants, legal teams, educators

2. Adobe Acrobat Pro DC

This premium tool supports advanced features, including batch processing, OCR, and custom bookmarks. It's perfect for professionals who need robust editing options.

Pros: Advanced settings, seamless file management, integration with cloud storage

Cons: Paid subscription required

3. PDFsam Enhanced

This offline tool offers great flexibility with batch merging and splitting. It’s a good choice for users concerned about privacy or those working without internet access.

Pros: Offline access, secure, highly customizable

Cons: Not as intuitive as online tools

 Comparing Online vs Offline PDF Merging Tools

 When choosing between online PDF merger tools and offline desktop software, it’s   important to weigh both convenience and security. Online tools like gabungpdf.id allow users to join PDFs online with just a few clicks, making them perfect for urgent tasks and mobile users. These platforms often come with built-in sorting, preview, and drag-and-drop support.

On the other hand, offline tools such as PDFsam Enhanced or Adobe Acrobat Pro DC offer advanced privacy and editing features. For sensitive files, some professionals may prefer to combine PDF files offline for added data control. Still, for most everyday users, especially those looking to combine PDFs for free, cloud-based platforms offer a solid mix of power, speed, and accessibility.

Organizing File Order in Large PDF Merges

When merging large volumes of documents, file order is critical. A single misplacement can derail the entire document’s logic or timeline. Most batch merging tools provide drag-and-drop interfaces that let you rearrange documents before merging.

To stay organized:

Name your files sequentially (e.g., 001_Invoice.pdf, 002_Statement.pdf)

Use folders to sort by category or client

Preview before merging to catch errors in order

Gabungpdf.id, for instance, auto-sorts files based on filename or upload order, reducing the chance of misplacement.

Adding Page Numbers to Merged PDFs

When handling multi-file merges, page numbers become essential for navigation, especially in legal and academic contexts. Page numbering allows users to cross-reference content and maintain clarity throughout the document.

Most tools provide a setting to add page numbers before or after merging. You can customize placement (bottom center, top right), style (numeric, Roman), and font. After merging, always double-check pagination to ensure consistency and accuracy.

 Automating Your PDF Workflow with Batch Tools

The real advantage of batch merging is not just the merge itself—it’s automation. With tools like GabungPDF, users can integrate bulk merging into larger workflows, such as invoice generation, compliance document bundling, or academic report packaging. Automation tools can trigger merges when new files are uploaded to a folder, eliminating repetitive manual steps.

Advanced platforms also let you preset rules for file sorting, naming conventions, and output formatting. That means you can combine PDF files for free with complete control over how the final document looks and behaves. Whether you’re using automation scripts or third-party integrations, turning merging into a repeatable, automated process frees up valuable hours every week.

Use Cases: Accountants and Lawyers

Accountants

Imagine an accountant preparing quarterly reports for 100 clients. Each client has invoices, bank statements, and tax forms. Merging these into a single file per client dramatically reduces clutter and improves retrieval during audits or reviews.

Batch PDF merging allows automation of this task, improving accuracy and making it easier to send files to clients or regulators without manually combining dozens of files one by one.

Legal Professionals

Law firms often need to combine depositions, contracts, discovery materials, and case notes into a cohesive format for court or internal use. A clean, well-organized merged PDF helps them build stronger cases and present information more convincingly.

Batch merging ensures that no piece of evidence is overlooked and provides a streamlined workflow for case management.

Productivity Tips for High-Volume PDF Merging

Efficient batch merging starts before the merging process itself. Here are two productivity tips to ensure a smoother experience:

Pre-organize files in dedicated folders: Create separate folders for each client, case, or category. This avoids confusion during selection and helps maintain structure after merging.

Use consistent naming conventions: Uniform file names make it easier to identify documents quickly. Include identifiers like date, client code, or document type.

Additionally, always use a preview function to scan the document before saving. This helps detect misplaced or missing pages early on.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When You Merge PDF Files

When you merge PDF files online, even small oversights can lead to confusing or unprofessional documents. One common mistake is failing to preview the final output—always check that every file is in the correct order, especially when dealing with sensitive or time-critical information. Another issue is inconsistent naming conventions, which can make it hard to identify and verify content later.

Some users also overlook formatting compatibility. For example, documents created in different software may have varying page sizes or orientations. Before merging, it’s good practice to standardize your files. With tools like Gabungpdf.id, you can easily join PDFs for free and use preview features to avoid these pitfalls and ensure a clean, logical result.

Final Thoughts: The Benefits of Joining PDF Files in Batches

Batch merging is more than a timesaver—it’s a strategic upgrade for any professional who works with documents at scale. Whether you're an accountant generating monthly statements or a legal associate preparing case files, mastering batch PDF merging can boost both accuracy and efficiency.

By leveraging smart tools like gabungpdf.id and following best practices for file management, layout consistency, and pagination, you’ll be able to create polished documents in record time. Start now with Join PDF files and transform how you manage large document collections—faster, safer, and smarter.
