# AddNewImage

> Add an image or multi-page file to a batch with the AddNewImage method of the ABBYY FlexiCapture Web Services API, and then process the batch to access pages.

## What it does

Adds an image to a batch, including a multi-page image (one new document is created, which is then split into one-page documents at the pre-processing stage).

<Warning>
  The added images will become accessible only after they are pre-processed. Use the [ProcessBatch](/flexi-capture/api/methods/process-batch) method to initiate batch processing after you have added the images or use the [CloseTask](/flexi-capture/api/methods/close-task) method to close the task and to send it in the **Import** stage if the images were added into the documents of a task that was opened with the [OpenTask](/flexi-capture/api/methods/open-task) method.
</Warning>
