BIMP. Batch Image Manipulation Plugin.


BIMP. Batch Image Manipulation Plugin for Gimp.

Use BIMP to apply a set of GIMP manipulations to groups of images. It provides an easy to use interface and a lot of functions! It's written in C using the latest GTK directives.
The plugin is tested to work on GIMP starting from 2.6 version.

How to use

Open BIMP from the File menu
First, add all the image files that you want to manipulate
Second, choose from a list of available effects and tools to apply
resize, crop, flip, rotate, color correction,
sharpen, watermark, format conversion, rename
You can add several of them and, obviously, customize each step
Want more? Try the last manipulation of the list: "Other GIMP procedure"
choose from the full set of supported GIMP procedures (plugins, script-fu and so on)!
...and have a happy batch.


"Applica" means "Apply", in Italian


Translating BIMP into your language

Starting from version 0.8, BIMP can be easily translated using the "gettext" method. Those who are already familiar with this system can find some template files (with .po extension) into the ./bin/win32/bimp-locale folder. If you want to translate BIMP but do not know how, just send me an email.
Let's make BIMP speak Powhatan!


Alternatives to BIMP

Batch Image Manipulation Plugin is not the only on Earth. There is another graphic batch solution developed years ago, and it's called DBP (David's Batch Processor). It works good, with different features compared to mine.

This project costs me a lot of "No, not tonight" answers to the questions "Hey, Ale! Wanna go out with us for some beer?"
So, if you are a real gentleman, why don't you pay me back those missed drinks? ;)
