# Cloud processing

> Running image editing on cloud servers so the studio can keep shooting while images are processed.

Also known as: cloud post-processing, cloud editing. Category: Software.

Cloud processing means image editing runs on remote servers rather than on the studio computer. Batches are processed in the background, so the next product can be photographed while the previous one is still being edited.

## How PhotoRobot uses it

PhotoRobot states that its cloud editing, running on Nvidia Tesla K80 GPUs, can process hundreds of images per second with no limit on image resolution, and that a batch typically takes about a minute. Edits apply to all images of an item at once and can start automatically after capture.
