Bulk Rename Photos with Sequential Numbers
Camera files come out as IMG_4821.JPG and similar names that tell you nothing. Bulk Rename Files gives a whole folder clean, numbered names like product-photo_01.jpg in one step and hands you the renamed copies as a ZIP.
Settings you can change
New name is the base name, such as product-photo or trip-day1, up to 60 characters. Start number sets the first number. Separator can be an underscore, a hyphen, a space, or none. Number digits can be 1, 01, or 001, so files sort correctly in any folder.
There is also an option to keep the original file name as part of the new name, which helps when you still need to recognize the old names.
How to rename
You see the new names in a table before anything is saved.
- Open Bulk Rename Files and add your files. You can drag in a whole selection at once.
- Type the New name.
- Pick the Start number, Separator, and Number digits.
- Under Order, choose Selection order or By name.
- Check the Original name and New name columns, then click "Save renamed files as ZIP".
- Rename first, then compress, so the compressed files keep the clean names.
- Use hyphens if the names will be used in web addresses.
Getting the order right
Selection order keeps the order you added the files in. By name sorts by the original file name, which for camera files usually matches the order the photos were taken. You can also remove single files from the list before saving.
Use 01 or 001 digits when you have more than 9 or 99 files. Without leading zeros, file 10 can sort before file 2 on some systems.
Big batches
Very large sets are saved as more than one ZIP so the download does not fail, and the button shows progress while the ZIP is built. Your original files stay untouched because the tool makes renamed copies.
Private and offline-friendly
Files are renamed inside your browser and never uploaded. That makes it safe for client photos, documents, and anything you would not want on someone else's server.
