Your own media pipeline.
No meters. No quotas. No cloud.
Batchroom is a self-hosted server that removes backgrounds, resizes, converts and packs your images into every marketplace format — hundreds at a time, on your own hardware, with AI models that never send a pixel anywhere.

MIT-licensed core · web UI in 10 languages · REST API · watch folders
One recipe in, a finished catalog out
A recipe is a small YAML pipeline. Drop 500 photos on it — every step runs on your CPU, originals are never touched, and a manifest records everything.
AI background removal
ISNet, U²-Net and BiRefNet ONNX models run locally — 0.3 s per 1080p image on a modern CPU. Checksum-pinned downloads, permissive licenses only.
Marketplace preset packs
Amazon 2000², Etsy 2000×1500, Shopify 2048², Trendyol 1200×1800, Instagram — or every Steam capsule size from one key art. Named, sorted, done.
NAS-grade watch folders
Drop files into a hot folder — safe on SMB/NFS, picks up only fully-copied files, sorts sources into done/ and failed/.
The whole toolchain
JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC in and out. Contain/pad/cover fitting, alpha-aware trims, 4× Real-ESRGAN upscaling, EXIF stripped by default.
Automation-first
Everything the UI does is plain HTTP. Async jobs, SSE progress, a signed manifest per batch and a webhook when it's done.
Private by architecture
One Docker container, SQLite state, no external services, no telemetry. Air-gapped? Pre-pull the models and cut the cable.
