Advanced Renamer

Batch file renaming utility for Windows and Mac.

Visit Advanced Renamer

Advanced Renamer is a desktop utility for Windows and macOS that renames multiple files and folders in batches. It lets users combine several renaming methods in one operation, change names and timestamps together, and copy or move files to new locations based on information stored in the files. Before an operation runs, users can preview the resulting names, and completed batches can be undone.

The program supports 13 renaming methods, including tag-based renaming, case changes, text insertion and removal, pattern replacement, renumbering, timestamp changes, and JavaScript scripting. It can extract metadata from image, audio, video, and document files, including EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and ID3 tags, and can use GPS coordinates to insert location names. Additional capabilities include regular expressions and wildcards, Unicode support, batch presets, a command-line batch runner, and a dark theme. It runs on Windows and macOS and is available in multiple languages.

Advanced Renamer is intended for individuals and professionals who need to organize large collections of files, such as photos, music, videos, and documents. The program is developed by an independent software developer and is available for personal or commercial use under a license.
