GetPicTools has upgraded its server-side conversion engine with multi-threaded processing, delivering up to 2x faster batch WebP conversions. This update is especially impactful for sellers managing large product catalogs across Amazon, Shopify, and TikTok Shop.
The new engine parallelizes image conversion across available CPU cores. In internal benchmarks on 100-image batches (mixed JPEG/PNG, average 2MB each), total conversion time dropped from 47 seconds to 22 seconds — a 53% reduction.
Key improvements:
- Parallel batch processing — images are distributed across cores for simultaneous conversion
- Smarter memory management — large batches no longer cause browser freezes
- Streaming ZIP packaging — download starts sooner while remaining images finish converting
- Better progress feedback — real-time per-image status with estimated time remaining
The upgrade is already live and applies automatically to all server-side conversions (files over 10MB or batches over 20 images). Browser-side processing for smaller files remains unchanged and instantaneous.
