Better organize your data: rename files, folders, photos, songs and documents in seconds
In just 3 steps restructure files effortlessly:
Add files, directories, and even folders in bulk.
Select from the list of 12 useful naming conventions: New Name, Add Suffix, Add Prefix, Remove Text, Trim Text, Replace Text, Insert Text, Add Ascending Numbers to files, Convert to Uppercase or Lowercase, Title Case, and Swap.
Apply your selected rule to the set of files or folders. The batch renamer will show you the preview of applied conventions. This will make sure the new file names are accurate.
Renaming files on the cloud gets as simple as renaming them on your computer!
Add MP3 files or import iTunes songs into the Windows file renamer version.
Move files, directories and folders to new locations easily.
Copy data with zero chance of errors in Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8 and 7.
This works on both Windows and MacOS. You can locate it on the software dashboard. In this mode there are two important operations: 1) Adding Files or Folders; and 2) Setting New Names.
Step 1 is highlighted to make it easily discoverable. Click on the +Add Files option to load a set of files. All Files from a Folder function is also provided to configure all files from a specific folder. Go to the highlighted Step 2 option and select a predefined naming parameter from the options. You can also apply multiple naming rules on the same list of files.
In the file renamer Windows version, move to the Add Folders tab and click on +Add Folders. The Windows Directory will pop up, from where you can select one or more folders for batch renaming.
The Windows and MacOS file renamer users are given a free cloud renaming service, Cloud-File-Renamer (CFR), by our company, Sorcim Technologies. Using this service, all you need is to add your cloud drives and start file renaming online. CFR uses official cloud APIs and strong encryption. It will NEVER change the file contents.
Type in the new name you want to apply in the Name textbox and click the Add Rule button to signal your confirmation of the rule. Look down and spot the New Name rule entry added in the Applied Rules section. Consider this test case: we’re changing the filename from Image 600 to Photo 444 here.
Check the Item New Name column to know the name of the file/ folder after it has been renamed.
Once you’re sure of the changes, click the Rename button at the far end of the software’s bottom and click Yes in the confirmation prompt.
This rule lets you remove letter(s), number(s) and special characters. You can even choose whether to remove the first, last, or all instances of the selected item. In this case, we’re removing all the instances of IM from the filename.
This rule helps replace the first/ last/ all instances of a letter, several letters, number and numbers with the name you want. And by the way, you can apply multiple instances of a rule in one go. This is what we’re showing in this case: we will replace I with A, GE with JJ, and 60 with 77.
This rule is designed to trim the name by the number of characters specified at the start/ end of the file/ folder name. In this case, we enter 2 in the Length textbox and select the At Start of Name radio box to opt for getting the first 2 characters (I and M) removed from the beginning of the name. Likewise, we enter 4 (to remove space, 6, 0, and 0) and select At End of Name to get the last 4 characters in the filename erased.
This rule helps users add a suffix of their liking to the filename. It can be a letter, a word, a number or even a whole phrase. In this case, we’ve opted to add AAA and 789 as suffixes.
This rule is the exact opposite. It allows you to edit the filename by adding the data you specify at the beginning. In this case, we’ve added 2222 as a Prefix to the filename.
This renaming option is a combo. The first dropdown menu allows users to add a hyphen (-) or the underscore (_) to the filename. Next to this is a simple textbox that will add any number you enter. Finally, you will select whether you want to add this text at the beginning or at the end of the filename. Please note that if you want to add the text in the beginning, the text will be added first, followed by the - or the _. But if you want to add them at the end of the filename, the - or the _ will be added before the text. In this case, we’ve opted to add 2345 and underscore (_) at the beginning of the filename.
This renaming rule allows the user to add text after the position specified in the Position textbox. In this case, we add the letters AAA in the place of the 2nd character in the filename.
This rule converts all the Uppercase (or capital) letters in the filename to lowercase.
This rule is the exact opposite. It converts all the lowercase letters in the filename to uppercase.
The Title Case renaming method capitalizes the first letter of each word in a filename. For instance, if the filename is “best song of ellie goudling,” the Title Case will set the new name as “Best Song Of Ellie Goulding.”
Swap case is a specific renaming method that allows you to swap words in a filename. For instance, if the filename is Bella_Ciao, you can set the underscore (_) as a separator and identify its occurrence (1 in this case). After it has been renamed, your file will be named Ciao_Bella.
NOTE 1: We’ve just provided a snapshot of the endless possibilities the EFR mass rename tool provides. You can easily apply multiple instances of a single rule/ several rules in one go to give a totally changed look to the filename once the renaming is over.
NOTE 2: Even though the New Name, Suffix, and Prefix rules allow to rename file extensions also, DO NOT use these options unless you absolutely know what you’re doing because renaming extensions most of the times renders a file totally useless.
