How to rename multiple files at once in 3 steps
Drop your entire batch
Drag any number of files from any folder directly into the tool. Images, PDFs, videos, spreadsheets, audio files — all file types work together in a single drop.
Choose how to rename them
Pick from 9 rename styles. Clean removes camera codes and junk. Professional gives Title_Case names. Dates First adds YYYY-MM-DD as a prefix. Or write your own rule with {name}, {date}, and {n} placeholders.
Review, edit, and download
See every before and after name side by side with a confidence score. Edit any row inline, lock names you like, regenerate others. Download a single ZIP or a CSV mapping for audit records.

Used by teams who rename files every day
"I had 800 files from a department shared drive with no naming convention at all. Dropped everything in, ran the Professional preset, and had consistent Title_Case_Date names across the whole set in under two minutes. Nothing installed, nothing uploaded."
IT Administrator"We batch rename client deliverables before every handoff. Drop the whole folder, apply a date prefix, download the zip. Beats doing them individually in Windows Explorer by a wide margin. The preview before download is genuinely useful."
Project Manager"I write for multiple publications and archive every draft and final. Renaming multiple files used to take ages manually. Now I batch everything in one pass with a date and project name template. The custom placeholder system is exactly what I needed."
Freelance Writer"I collect student submissions and have to rename hundreds of assignment files before grading each term. This tool handles the whole batch in one go. No login required, no files uploaded to a server, and it works on the school Chromebooks."
Teacher"After every shoot I need to rename 300 to 500 raw images with a consistent date plus sequence format. Everything processes in the browser so there are no file size limits and nothing gets sent anywhere. The batch ZIP download works perfectly."
Photographer"Clients send me files with completely random names every week. Being able to rename multiple files at once with a professional preset saves me at least half an hour per project. I can see every old and new name before committing to the download."
Virtual Assistant"I organize study notes by module and date every semester. Renaming multiple files at once with the Dates First preset and a custom prefix handles an entire semester of notes in one batch. A huge improvement over right-clicking individual files."
University Student"Product images from our manufacturer all come named IMG_0001.jpg. Renaming the whole batch with our product SKU as a template prefix takes about 30 seconds now instead of 20 minutes of manual effort. The sequential numbering is automatic."
E-commerce Manager"I deal with hundreds of billing documents each month from different vendors. Batch renaming all of them to a consistent Vendor_Date format keeps the filing system searchable without any manual effort per file. The CSV export gives me an audit trail too."
