Many image editing tasks repeat: product photos need consistent width, blog graphics need WebP conversion, social images need predictable crop ratios, and newsletter images need smaller dimensions. PicFlow recipes help turn those repeat tasks into reusable workflows, so you can start from a template instead of remembering every setting each time.
The starter library includes recipes for Instagram posts, Shopify-style product images, WordPress blog graphics, and email newsletters. After applying a recipe, upload your image and PicFlow preselects the first actionable step with the recommended settings. You can then continue with related tools such as image compression, image conversion, and image resizing.
New workflow actions connect recipes with the Social Media Image Previewer, Image Speed Test, and Image Placeholder Generator for publishing, performance, and developer handoff tasks.
For a deeper walkthrough, read How to Build a Batch Image Workflow and connect the same ideas with PicFlow recipes.
