Add PNG to Image Processor

Many of our images need to be exported to transparant PNG's for the websites of our customers. Please Adobe, is it possible to add PNG to the Image Processor in addition to the current JPG, PSD and TIFF options. It would make my day (maybe my year 🙂 ). To be clear, I'm talking about the Image Processor accessible from Bridge > Tools > Photoshop > Image processor.

It's fixed in the new Adobe Bridge!

Thank you Adobe. The new Export To function in Bridge is exactly what I needed.

Hello I maybe late for the party, almost 5 years late but I stumble upon this and I also need a tool or shortcut to make my life easier.

Here goes....

I first generated a bunch of file and turned them into PSD which is a design for a foldable fan with a unique number per fan, around 100pcs.

I saved them in a folder, so I got 100 files of PSD, I needed to turn them into PNG (already prepared the files with transparent BG), what I did is I made an Action in which then I recorded with, Save as PNG, Close, then end the record. I proceeded to use the Automate-Batch then using the Action Set to Play, either put the Source from the Folder or all the files opened in PSD works. Hope it helps to the people who'll stumble upon this. Good luck.

The late Mike Hale extended Image Processor to include PNG:

To spare readers the script dump of 2K+ lines of code, I have attached the code as a .txt file. After downloading the file, change the filename extension from .txt to .jsx (as the forum software doesn't allow .jsx or .zip uploads).

I didn't add on option to use either PNG-24 or PNG-8, this script always uses PNG-8. The previously linked original modification by the late Mike Hale should be used for PNG-24.

This script uses Save PNG which the late Mike Hale added, which is why I had to convert to indexed colour mode before saving.

I'll take a look at using Export > Save for Web (Legacy) which offers either PNG-24 or PNG-8 options.

Attached is a version that uses Export > Save for Web (Legacy) rather than Save.

I haven't set any explicit indexed colour conversion options, so it uses whatever is set as the default.

After downloading the file, change the filename extension from .txt to .jsx (as the forum software doesn't allow .jsx or .zip uploads).

I didn't add an option to use either PNG-24 or PNG-8, this script always uses PNG-8. The previously linked original modification by the late Mike Hale should be used for PNG-24.

EDIT: I have now removed the redundant Interlace checkbox and uploaded new code!

A custom extension of the Image Processor script including PNG by the late Mike Hale is available here:

I am looking for a tools that can bring pngs from 24 to 8 and keep the folder structure.

I'll update the code from the late Mike Hale's script to use PNG-8... However, I need to know what indexed colour conversion options are required? Please post a screenshot, similar to below.

Download and install the Image Processor Pro... from the Web. It is a free Photoshop Plug-in once installed you can use it from Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor Pro... and from Photoshop menu File>Automate>Image Processor Pro... It support more File Types and can save more output files then the Photoshop Script Image Processor...
