One source, multiple output

Hello everyone,
I'm new to the community, and I apologize if this question seems basic, but I haven't been able to find a solution while searching the forum.


In short: Is it possible to configure Light Image Resizer to convert one file into multiple outputs with just a single click?

TL;DR:
I've been progressively enhancing all my music album art images using AI. Topaz Gigapixel helps to eliminate all JPEG artifacts and produce sharp 4K files. Every time I enhance a new image, I want to convert it like this:
  • full.jxl (keep the full resolution, usually 6000x6000, for archiving and eventually batch convert them in the future)
  • folder.jpg (3000x3000) as the most compatible format and filename
  • cover.webp (1400x1400), low quality ~100 Kb
Currently, I'm manually performing these conversions using IrfanView, adjusting the settings and resolution for each file by hand. It's a tedious process.

I came across Light Image Resizer today (mentioned in the Reddit jpeg-xl sub). I've managed to create three profiles for each conversion task and initiate them from the file explorer.

However, I'm wondering if there's a way to create a single profile that can handle all three conversions simultaneously. This feature would be a real game-changer for me!

Thank you for your help :)

Hi,

thanks for your feedback. Currently it's not possible to apply multiple profiles in one pass, but we will note it as a feature request.

You could create a simple batch file and let it run Light Image Resizer multiple times on the same files with different options/profiles.

For example:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\ObviousIdea\Light Image Resizer 7\resize.exe" c:\photos /profile="My Profile 1" /run /autoclose
"C:\Program Files (x86)\ObviousIdea\Light Image Resizer 7\resize.exe" c:\photos /profile="My Profile 2" /run /autoclose
For further information take a look at the LIR command line reference.
