Hi, Amir.

I'm a little reluctant to give technical advice/suggestions after the last
time, but here goes...

Probably your best bet for a job like this is something like XnConvert,
which is a freeware batch image processor that lets you apply
Photoshop-like filters in bulk. It's available for Windows, OS X, and
Linux.

You can download it here: https://www.xnview.com/en/xnconvert/
