Batch Conversion
Batch Rename

B
|
Two powerful features here: Batch Conversion
allows you to process hundreds of files in the same way: reducing the number of colours, changing colours, brightness, or contrast, proportional or fixed size resizing, rotate, flip, converting to different graphic formats, etc.
Batch Renaming can be used to rename any files, not just graphic images. Wild-cards permit you to retain part of the original file name.

Find files in selected folder (and subfolders) by filename pattern, by date, or containing IPTC, EXIF, or Comment data, or containing a text
