SoftOrbits Reduces Image Editing Time By Up to 76% With AI-Powered Tools

By Space Coast Daily // February 11, 2025

Founded in 2006 by Eugene Ustinenkov, SoftOrbits’ initial goal was to make professional image processing tools accessible to all users, which is why the team focused on building software that combines simplicity, high performance, and affordability.

According to a recent study conducted by SoftOrbits, their software reduces image editing time by an average of 76%. The study, which covered more than 5,000 active users, demonstrated significant efficiency improvements in typical photo processing tasks, achieved through the implementation of new AI tools in the company’s products in late 2024.

Analysis of key product usage shows the following workflow optimization:

Task	Workload	Traditional approach	SoftOrbits’ solution	Time reduction
Batch photo processing	400 photos (average wedding album)	8 hours	1.5 hours in PhotoBatch	81.25%
Watermark removal	200 images for social media and websites	4 hours	45 minutes in Watermark Remover	81.25%
Old photo restoration	50 family photos	5 hours	1 hour in Photo Retoucher	80%
Format conversion	300 photos for various platforms	2 hours	45 minutes in Photo Converter	62.5%
Average time reduction	76.25%

“AI has enabled us to create tools that not only automate routine tasks but also ensure high-quality results,” comments Eugene Ustinenkov, founder of SoftOrbits and Candidate of Technical Sciences. “We’re glad that our users can focus on the creative aspects of their work rather than technical image processing.”

The company’s new AI-powered batch photo processing feature allows simultaneous color correction, contrast adjustment, and defect removal across multiple images, and shows particularly impressive results. For example, processing a large wedding album of 400 photos now takes only one and a half hours instead of eight hours using traditional methods — that represents 80% time savings.

Technological achievements

SoftOrbits stands out for its ability to adapt quickly to market changes and leverage advanced technologies to solve everyday tasks.

Today, the company’s portfolio includes programs that help both amateurs and professionals achieve high-quality results with minimal effort:

Photo Retoucher. A tool for restoring old or damaged photographs. Using intelligent algorithms, it removes defects like scratches, spots, or noise, and even restores faded colors.
Photo Stamp Remover. A program for erasing watermarks, date stamps, and other unwanted objects from photos. Its unique algorithms automatically recreate the background, preserving the natural look of the image.
Sketch Drawer. Software for artistic photo processing, turning images into drawings in various styles (e.g., pencil sketches).
HEIC to JPEG Converter. A modern tool for converting images from Apple devices into the universal JPEG format while preserving HDR profiles and metadata.

“Each of SoftOrbits’ solutions allows users to not only edit images but to do so quickly. For example, batch processing in Sketch Drawer or Photo Stamp Remover makes it possible to process hundreds of photos at once – a task that would have taken hours before,” adds Eugene Ustinenkov, CEO of SoftOrbits with over 16 years of experience in software development, testing, and digital marketing.

Artificial intelligence: a new milestone

The recent integration of AI into the team’s toolkit has drastically improved the whole image-processing workflow, making it much more quick and intuitive.

One of the key features the team has introduced is automatic color correction. Algorithms analyze image parameters like lighting, tones, and contrast, and then automatically adjust them. This results in natural, balanced photos without users needing to tweak every setting manually.

AI-powered photo restoration feature in Photo Retoucher can recreate damaged details and even restore textures. For example, it can not only remove obvious defects from faded photographs but also restore clarity, brightness, and saturation reminiscent of the original.

Another popular feature is artistic photo editing using text descriptions. Now Softorbits’ users can provide specific AI prompts like “add a sunset effect” or “convert to a watercolor style,” and the system instantly applies the changes.

“These technologies have brought new opportunities not only for enthusiasts but also for professionals,” comments Hannes Jansen, Author and Content Editor at SoftOrbits. “Artists, designers, and photographers can now focus their energy on creativity rather than routine tasks.”

Outlook and future development

SoftOrbits continues to innovate and expand and is currently focused on allowing users to edit images directly in their browser. This way, the team aims to make their products accessible to a wider audience, including those using mobile devices or low-performance computers.

SoftOrbits is also working on integrating AI tools into mobile apps, enabling professional-grade editing with just a single tap.

“We believe technology should be simple yet powerful. Our mission is to reduce time spent on routine tasks and let people focus on what truly matters,” emphasizes Eugene Ustinenkov, CEO of SoftOrbits and AlarmFront.
