Automate File Workflows with Custom Tasks
Custom File Tasks in FileBrowser let you automate file processing on iPhone and iPad. From renaming and backing up files to editing PDFs and images, you can streamline bulk workflows and save time across all your documents and media.
For example, a Custom Task that runs on the currently selected files, which renames only the images taken in the last 30 days and copies them to another location. Using our step by step Custom Task builder your Custom Tasks can be as simple or as complex as you like.
What Files do you Want to Change?
- The currently select files
- The current folder
- A preset folder
What do you Want to do with those Files?
Filter them by type, size or date to limit the changes you make.
Include just the files, the folders or include everything including subfolders.
Compare the contents of a folder to another folder
Move, Copy, Rename and Delete files.
PDFs: Merge Pdfs, Trim PDF pages and create PDFs from images
Images: Rotate, convert, scale and crop images in bulk.
