Batch Node
Process multiple items through the same generation workflow
The Batch Node allows you to aggregate multiple images, videos, or text items and process them all through a single downstream generation node. Instead of manually running the same operation multiple times, the Batch Node automates bulk processing—saving time and ensuring consistency across all your outputs.
Overview
The Batch Node is designed for workflows where you need to apply the same transformation to multiple inputs:
Upscale a collection of images using the same enhancement model
Generate variations from multiple reference images
Apply consistent styling across a set of base images
Process multiple text prompts through the same generation pipeline
Think of it as a "for each" loop for your creative workflow—define the operation once, and the Batch Node applies it to every item in the collection.
Note: Batch Node currently works with one downstream output node only. Coming soon: run batch nodes as inputs into complete workflows with multiple nodes.
Getting Started
Adding a Batch Node
Add the Node
From the node menu, select Batch to add it to your canvas.
Add Items to the Batch
Populate your batch with items using any of these methods:
Connect upstream nodes - Link image, video, or text nodes to the batch input
Upload files - Click the Upload button or drag-and-drop files onto the node
Drag from asset library - Pull items from your workspace history or assets
Connect a Generation Node
Link the Batch Node output to a generation node (Image, Video, or Text). This defines what operation will be applied to each item.
Run the Generation
Execute the downstream node. The batch automatically processes all items in parallel, creating separate outputs for each input.
Adding Items to a Batch
Connecting Upstream Nodes
The most common way to populate a batch is by connecting other nodes:
Create your source nodes (image generators, uploads, etc.)
Connect each source to the Batch Node's input handle
When source nodes produce output, those outputs appear as items in your batch
Multiple nodes can feed into the same batch, allowing you to collect outputs from various sources.
Uploading Files
Click the Upload button in the Batch Node to select files from your computer, or simply drag-and-drop files directly onto the node.
Supported file types:
Images
PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP, SVG
Videos
MP4, WEBM, MOV
Text batches cannot accept file uploads. Text content must come from connected upstream text nodes.
Dragging from Assets
Drag items from the workspace sidebar directly onto the Batch Node:
History - Previously generated images or videos
Assets - Saved items in your workspace
Unsplash - Stock photos from the Unsplash integration
Modality Locking
The Batch Node locks to a single content type (modality) once you add your first item:
Add an image → the batch becomes an image batch
Add a video → the batch becomes a video batch
Connect a text node → the batch becomes a text batch
You cannot mix different content types in the same batch. All items must be the same modality (all images, all videos, or all text).
If you remove all items from a batch, the modality lock is released, allowing you to start fresh with a different content type.
The Batch Interface
Header
Displays the batch icon, the current modality (if set), and the total item count.
Item List
Shows all items currently in the batch with:
Thumbnail for images and videos
Text preview (first 100 characters) for text items
Source label indicating where the item came from
Delete option to remove individual items
Footer
Upload button to add more items
Add Generation Node button to quickly connect a downstream processing node
Processing a Batch
How Batch Execution Works
When you run a generation node connected to a batch:
Credit validation - FLORA checks you have sufficient credits for all items
Task creation - A separate generation task is created for each batch item
Parallel processing - All items are processed simultaneously
Output creation - Each item produces its own output in the generation history
Credit Calculation
Batch processing costs are calculated as:
For example, if upscaling costs 5 credits per image and your batch contains 10 images, the total cost is 50 credits.
FLORA validates your credit balance before starting. If you don't have enough credits for all items, the batch won't start.
Generation Limits
Maximum items per batch execution: 100 items
If your batch contains more than 100 items, you'll need to run the generation multiple times
Connecting to Generation Nodes
Quick Connect
Click the arrow button in the Batch Node footer to open a node selection modal. Choose a generation node type to automatically create and connect it.
Manual Connection
Drag from the Batch Node's output handle to any compatible generation node:
Image Node - For image-to-image transformations, upscaling, style transfer
Video Node - For image-to-video generation
Text Node - For image-to-text or text processing
How Connections Work
When a batch is connected to a downstream node:
Image batches replace the image input for each generation
Video batches replace the video input for each generation
Text batches inject text content into the prompt parameter
The downstream node's settings (model, parameters, prompt) apply identically to every item in the batch.
Workflow Examples
Example 1: Batch Upscaling
All three images are upscaled using the same model and settings.
Example 2: Style Transfer Across Multiple Images
Apply the same "anime style" prompt to all four photos.
Example 3: Generate Videos from Multiple Images
Create video animations from multiple product images.
Managing Batch Items
Removing Items
Hover over an item in the batch list and click the delete button to remove it. Removing an item also disconnects it from any source node.
Clearing the Batch
Remove all items to reset the batch completely, including its modality lock.
Item Sources
Each item displays its source:
Node name - For items from connected nodes
"Uploaded file" - For manually uploaded items
Tips for Effective Batch Processing
Consistent quality - Ensure all source images have similar quality and dimensions for best results
Test first - Run a single item through your generation node before processing the full batch
Check credits - Verify you have enough credits before starting large batches
Monitor progress - Each item generates independently, so you can see results as they complete
Organize sources - Name your source nodes clearly to track which outputs came from which inputs
Limitations
Single modality only
Cannot mix images, videos, and text
No text file uploads
Text must come from connected nodes
100 items per execution
Larger batches require multiple runs
Same settings for all
Cannot customize parameters per item
Common Use Cases
Product photography - Apply consistent editing to an entire product line
Social media content - Generate multiple variations for A/B testing
Asset preparation - Upscale or enhance a collection of images at once
Video creation - Turn a series of images into individual video clips
Style exploration - Apply different models to the same set of inputs (using multiple batches)
