Batch Processing: Vectorize Multiple Images

6 min read Updated Mar 2026

Pixel2Vector's batch processing feature lets you upload and vectorize multiple images in a single session. This is ideal for print shops processing client orders, designers converting asset libraries, or anyone who needs to vectorize more than one image at a time.

Accessing Batch Processing

Paid plans unlock the bulk uploader inside your Dashboard. From there, you can queue multiple raster images and download clean SVG outputs as each vectorization finishes.

How Batch Processing Works

  1. Select multiple images: Drag and drop up to 12 images at once, or use the file picker to select multiple files. Supported formats: PNG, JPG, JPEG, BMP, WebP, GIF.
  2. Queue processing: All images enter a processing queue and are vectorized sequentially on our GPU servers. Each image is independently classified and processed with optimal settings.
  3. Monitor progress: A real-time progress indicator shows you which images have been completed, which are currently processing, and which are waiting in the queue.
  4. Download results: Once all images are processed, download individual SVG files or use the bulk download option to get all results in a single ZIP archive.

Batch Processing Limits

  • Starter Plan: Up to 12 images per batch with standard GPU processing
  • Pro Plan: Up to 12 images per batch with priority processing
  • API Pro Plan: Unlimited batch size via API with concurrent processing
  • Maximum file size: 10MB per individual image
Pro Tip: Pro and API Pro subscribers get priority GPU access, which means batch jobs start processing faster and complete in less time. During peak hours, free-tier batch jobs may experience slightly longer queue times.

Best Practices for Batch Processing

Organize Before Uploading

Group similar images together. Since each image is independently classified by the AI, you don't need to separate logos from illustrations. However, organizing your files beforehand makes it easier to manage the downloaded results.

Check Image Quality

Review each image before uploading. Low-resolution or heavily compressed images will still be processed (our AI upscales them), but starting with higher quality inputs always produces better vectors. Images below 200×200 pixels may not produce satisfactory results regardless of AI enhancement.

Name Your Files Descriptively

The downloaded SVG files will retain the original filenames. Using descriptive names like company-logo-color.png rather than IMG_4382.jpg makes it much easier to find the right file later.

Monitor Credit Usage

Each image in a batch uses one credit. Before starting a large batch, verify that you have sufficient credits on your Dashboard. If you run out of credits mid-batch, remaining images will be queued but not processed until credits are replenished.

Using the API for Large Batches

For processing hundreds or thousands of images, the Pixel2Vector API is the most efficient approach. The API supports concurrent requests, webhook callbacks for completion notifications, and programmatic file management. See the API Documentation for integration details.

Troubleshooting Batch Issues

  • Some images fail: If individual images fail in a batch, the remaining images continue processing normally. Failed images will show an error indicator. Common causes include corrupt files or unsupported formats.
  • Slow processing: Large batches are processed sequentially. A 12-image batch with complex illustrations may take several minutes. Pro subscribers get faster processing.
  • Download issues: If the ZIP download fails, try downloading individual SVG files instead. Large ZIP files may time out on slow connections.
