Adobe Bridge is one of the best free alternatives to the Windows 10 Photos app. It aggregates all your media in one place and also packs in a bunch of great features you won’t get with the original Photos app.
Such a handy feature in the software allows you to batch convert photos to another file format with the help of Photoshop. You can use this feature to convert RAW image files to JPEG, PSD, or TIFF, and even use it to run Photoshop tasks on all your files. Read on to learn how you can batch convert photos using Adobe Bridge, along with a quick overview of how you can use the software to batch process images before converting them.
How to batch process images with Adobe Bridge
Before we start converting photos to another file format, let’s see how you can process a bunch of photos at once with Adobe Bridge. Make sure you have Photoshop installed on your system, then follow these simple steps to process multiple images using Bridge:
Step 1: Launch Bridge, then select Open from the file menu to select the folder containing all the images you want to process together.
Step 2: Now, right click on the first photo and then select the Open in Camera Raw option.
That will open the selected photo in Photoshop’s Camera Raw filter, where you can make the desired changes.
Step 3: Once you’re satisfied with the edit, click Done in the bottom-right corner of the Camera Raw window.
Step 4: Now to apply the same edit to the next image, just right click on the image, scroll down to the option Develop Settings then select Convert Previous.
That will automatically apply your previous edits to the selected image. To do it for all the pictures in the folder, just select all of them while holding down the Ctrl key, right-click any photo, then select the Convert Previous option.

Now that you know how to batch process files with Bridge, let’s move on to converting these files to another format. Just follow these simple steps to batch convert photos using Adobe Bridge:
Step 1: Launch Bridge, then select Open from the file menu to select the folder containing all the images you want to convert together.
Step 2: Select all the images, then click on the Tools option in the top toolbar, scroll to the Photoshop option, then click on the Image Processor.
Step 3: In the Image Processor, select the location where you want to save the photo by clicking the circle next to the option Choose Folder which is greyed out. Alternatively, you can skip this step if you want to save your images in the same folder.
Step 4: Then, select the format you want to convert your image into by checking the box next to the option Save as JPEG, Save as PSD or Save as TIFF.
Here you will also be able to change the quality of the resulting images, resize them and even convert them to sRGB profiles.
Step 5: If you want to run any Photoshop Actions on the photo, check the box next to the Run Task option.
Step 6: Now select an Action from the drop-down menu.
Step 7: Once you have made all these changes, simply click the Run button in the top right corner and the program will automatically apply all the changes to the selected images.
Alternatively, if you want to see what all the changes will look like, you can also check the box next to the Open first image option to apply the settings in the Image Processor.
That will open the first image in the folder and show you how it will look after the changes have been applied. That helps to be absolutely certain of what you’re doing. The converted images will then be saved in the destination folder of your choice.
This process takes some time, so don’t worry if all the images don’t appear right away. And if you add too many changes, it will take longer for the program to process and convert all the images.
Easily convert all your photos with Adobe Bridge
Now that you know how to process and convert multiple photos using Adobe Bridge, I’m sure you’ll have a much easier time batch processing large images.
Again, keep in mind that batch processing doesn’t always yield the best image. So if you want to achieve perfect results for each image, it’s best to edit them individually.
