https://github.com/dharple/detox is a nice tool for this. Sane defaults but configurable.

In addition to CLI I use it from emacs dired-mode too:

    (defun my-dired-detox ()
      (interactive)
      (dired-do-shell-command "detox" nil (dired-get-marked-files))
      (revert-buffer))

I bind it to "_" in dired-mode.
