How do I build an action for subject extraction and saving to a png with a transparent background ?

Hi - I need some help! I would like to build an action to take a few 100 images in files, extract the subject from each file, then save the extracted image as a png with the subject using a transparent background. I have batched the subject extraction. What I can't figure out is how to SAVE a file as a PNG with a transparent background with a unique filename.

Can someone share how this is done? Thanks!

@Stephen Marsh Thanks for the shout-out.

Auto Crop won't mask the image to make the background transparent.

But Batch Web Images will.

That one might be just what @stevec46934102 is looking for.

If it doesn't work quite right, I'm always interested to hear how it could be improved to solve the challenge.

In case that you still have problem, please explain which script you are using to automate procvess? There are options in Image Processor Pro to append to file name or to create unique filenames by adding numbers, for example. What is your end goal for filenames? Custom filename with sequential number, sequential number appended, suffix appended or something else?
