AutoAGC batch processing: how to generate images for 100+ SKUs efficiently?

When managing a large product catalog, generating individual images one by one is impractical. AutoAGC's batch processing capabilities enable efficient large-scale image production.

**Batch Processing Workflow:**

**Phase 1: Preparation**

1. Organize product photos in a standardized format:

- All images same resolution (e.g., 1500×1500)

- Clean white or light background

- Product centered, occupying 70-85% of frame

- Consistent lighting in source photos

2. Create a CSV/Excel file with product info:

- Product name, category, material, key features

- Desired scene style for each product (or use a default for all)

- Target output sizes (Amazon, Shopify, etc.)

3. Define a master style preset for the entire batch

**Phase 2: Batch Upload and Configuration**

1. Upload all product images to AutoAGC (supports bulk upload)

2. Apply the master style preset to all products

3. Set generation parameters:

- Number of variations per product (recommend 4-8)

- Output resolutions (multi-platform export)

- De-AI processing level

- Background style

4. Configure scene assignments:

- Same scene for all (uniform catalog look)

- Category-based scenes (different scenes per product category)

- Individual scenes (if you have specific scene requirements per product)

**Phase 3: Generation and Review**

1. Start batch generation — AutoAGC processes products sequentially or in parallel (depending on plan)

2. Generation time estimate:

- 100 products × 4 variations = 400 images

- Standard plan: ~2-4 hours

- Enterprise plan with parallel processing: ~30-60 minutes

3. Review results:

- Quick scan all thumbnails for obvious errors

- Flag products with issues (deformation, wrong colors, AI artifacts)

- Select best variation for each product

- Regenerate flagged products with adjusted prompts

**Phase 4: Post-Processing and Export**

1. Apply batch post-processing:

- Uniform color correction

- Consistent background processing

- Logo/watermark addition

2. Multi-platform export:

- Amazon: 2000×2000 white background

- Shopify: 1500×1500 with scene

- Social media: 1080×1080 and 1080×1920

3. Organize files by product SKU for easy upload

**Efficiency Tips for Large Batches:**

1. **Tier Your Processing**: Not every product needs the same level of attention:

- Hero products (top sellers): 8+ variations, custom scenes, detailed review

- Standard products: 4 variations, preset scene, quick review

- Long-tail products: 2 variations, default scene, spot-check only

2. **Use Templates for Categories**: Create category-specific style presets:

- Electronics: tech aesthetic, dark backgrounds, dramatic lighting

- Apparel: lifestyle scenes, natural light, model-based

- Home goods: cozy interiors, warm tones, contextual scenes

3. **Automate Quality Checks**: Set up automated checks for:

- Resolution verification

- Background color compliance (pure white for Amazon)

- Product centering

- File naming consistency

4. **API Integration**: For 500+ SKUs, use AutoAGC's API to integrate with your ERP/PIM system:

- Auto-fetch product images from your database

- Auto-generate images with predefined settings

- Auto-upload processed images back to your system

- Run overnight batch jobs for non-urgent products

**Cost Calculation for 100 SKUs:**

- Traditional photography: 100 products × $100-300/photo session = $10,000-30,000

- AutoAGC batch processing: ~$50-150 (depending on plan and variations)

- Savings: 95-99%

- Time savings: 2-4 hours vs. 4-6 weeks
