IMAGE EDITING AUTOMATION

Automate repetitive image editing with Bacon Workflows

Bacon Workflows are reusable sequences of image-editing steps. Record or build one, save it, and run the same process again on another compatible image — without repeating the clicks by hand.

What are Bacon Workflows?

Bacon Workflows are reusable sequences of image-editing steps. You record or build a Workflow once inside the Bacon Services editor, save it, and run the same sequence again on another compatible image — resizing, backgrounds, layer positioning, adjustments, and exports included.

How Bacon Workflows work

Three steps: record or build, save, run again.

A Workflow is not a video or a macro tied to your screen — it's a saved list of supported editor actions that Bacon can replay on demand.

Record or build a Workflow

Turn on the recorder while you edit, or add steps by hand in the Workflow builder — resizing, background, positioning, adjustments, filters, and export are all supported.

Save it to your library

Give the Workflow a name and category. It's saved to your account and stays available the next time you open the editor.

Run it on another image

Open a different design and run the saved Workflow. Bacon resolves the target image automatically, or asks you to pick one if there's more than one candidate.

Two ways to create one

Record a Workflow, or build one by hand.

Record a Workflow

Turn on the recorder, then use the editor normally — resize the canvas, set a background, add or move layers, apply adjustments, and export. Bacon records the operations that map to a saved step; actions without a clear equivalent, like freehand drawing, simply aren't recorded, so what you save is always safe to replay.

Recording
  1. Resize canvas
  2. Set background — White
  3. Center image
  4. Export — WebP
Stop recording

Build a Workflow

Add steps manually in the Workflow builder without recording anything live — pick from the same supported actions, set their options, reorder them, and save. Useful when you want a Workflow ready before you have a design to record against.

Reuse, not repetition

Run a Workflow on another image.

A saved Workflow isn't tied to the exact document it was recorded on. Before running, Bacon checks what each step needs — an image layer, a specific target — and resolves it automatically when there's exactly one match, or asks you to choose when there's more than one. If a step needs an image and none exists yet, Bacon offers to add one first, rather than failing partway through.

A common use case

Product photo workflows

Photograph a product, then run a saved Workflow that crops it to a consistent size, removes the background, centers it on a plain canvas, and exports it as a WebP file — the same steps, every time, on every photo.

Before
Product Photo Workflow
  1. 1Remove background
  2. 2Resize canvas — 1600 × 1600
  3. 3Set background — White
  4. 4Center horizontally
  5. 5Center vertically
  6. 6Export — WebP
After
Product Photo — one of the starter Workflows already in the editor: cut out the background, square the canvas, center the product, export WebP.
Which one do I want?

Workflows vs. Smart Batch Edit

Both save you from repeating edits by hand. They solve different shapes of the problem.

Workflows

Saves a custom sequence of any supported editor action — resize, background, position, adjustments, export, and more — to your account, and runs it on one image at a time from inside the editor.

Smart Batch Edit

Applies one fixed recipe — adjustments, resize, rename, watermark, export format — to a whole batch of photos at once, entirely in your browser, with no account required.

AI steps

Do Workflow AI steps use credits?

Steps that use AI, such as Remove Background, use the same AI credits as using that feature directly in the editor. Before running a Workflow that includes an AI step, the Run dialog shows an estimated credit cost, so there are no surprises.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Bacon Workflows.

An image editing workflow is a repeatable sequence of edits — like resizing, adjusting colors, and exporting — applied in the same order every time, instead of redone by hand for each image.

Bacon Workflows are Bacon Services' built-in way to save and reuse an editing sequence. Record or build one, save it, and run it again on another compatible image.

Bacon Workflows work in three steps: record or build the sequence, save it to your account, then run it again — Bacon resolves what image or layer each step needs automatically where possible.

Yes. Any sequence of supported editor actions — resizing, backgrounds, positioning, adjustments, and exports — can be saved as a Workflow and run again without repeating each step by hand.

Yes. A Workflow is not tied to the document it was recorded on. Running it on a different image resolves matching targets automatically, or asks you to pick one when more than one candidate exists.

Yes. Turning on the recorder captures supported actions — like resizing, background changes, and adjustments — as you make them, so you can save the resulting sequence as a Workflow.

Yes. A recorded Workflow opens in the same builder used to create one manually, where you can reorder, edit, disable, or remove individual steps before saving.

Yes. A common example crops a product photo to a consistent size, removes the background, centers the product, and exports it — the same steps applied to every photo in a catalog.

Yes. A Workflow step that uses AI, such as Remove Background, uses the same AI credits as using that feature directly, and the Run dialog shows the estimated cost before you run it.

Workflows save a custom sequence of any supported editor action and run it on one image at a time from inside the editor. Smart Batch Edit applies one fixed recipe of adjustments, resizing, and export settings to a whole batch of photos at once, with no account required.

Bacon Workflows serve a similar purpose to Photoshop Actions — saving and replaying a sequence of edits — inside Bacon's browser-based editor, without installing desktop software.

Ready to save your first Workflow?

Open the editor, make your edits once, then save them as a Workflow you can run again on the next image.
