Advanced Renaming Rules

🎯 Template System

Use pre-built templates for common renaming scenarios:

  • EXIF Date Integration: Uses photo capture dates when available
  • Live Preview: See exact transformations before applying
  • Customizable Parameters: Event names, starting numbers, date formats
  • Sequential Numbering: Automatic zero-padded numbering (001, 002, 003)
Example: IMG_1234.JPG → 2025-01-02_NewYorkTrip_001.JPG

🔍 Text Replacement Patterns

Master complex text replacement with advanced patterns:

  • Case-sensitive matching: Exact character matching
  • Multiple replacements: Apply multiple rules in sequence
  • Special characters: Handle spaces, hyphens, underscores
  • Unicode support: Work with international characters

📝 Prefix and Suffix Management

Professional file organization with prefixes and suffixes:

  • Smart positioning: Prefixes before filename, suffixes before extension
  • Separator control: Add custom separators (_, -, space)
  • Conditional application: Apply based on file type or name patterns
  • Batch prefixes: Number sequences (001_, 002_, etc.)

🔤 Case Conversion Options

Professional case formatting for consistent naming:

  • Title Case: First Letter Of Each Word Capitalized
  • Sentence case: First letter capitalized only
  • UPPERCASE: ALL LETTERS IN CAPITALS
  • lowercase: all letters in small case
  • camelCase: firstWordLowercase
  • PascalCase: FirstWordCapitalized

🔢 Numbering and Sequences

Advanced numbering for organized file sequences:

  • Zero-padded numbers: 001, 002, 003 (for sorting)
  • Custom starting numbers: Begin from any number
  • Custom increments: Skip numbers or use custom steps
  • Reverse numbering: Count down from highest to lowest
  • Alphabetical sequences: A, B, C or AA, AB, AC

📁 Folder Upload Support

Process entire directories with all subfolders:

  • Recursive Processing: Handles nested folder structures
  • Bulk Selection: Upload entire project directories at once
  • Mixed File Types: Process images, documents, and code files together
  • Path Preservation: Maintains folder structure in output
  • Size Validation: Automatic file size and count limits
💡 Tip: Perfect for organizing photo libraries, cleaning up project files, or standardizing documentation across multiple folders.

Best Practices

💡 Pro Tips for Power Users

  • Always preview first: Use the preview feature before applying changes
  • Backup important files: Create copies before batch operations
  • Test with small batches: Try rules on a few files first
  • Use descriptive names: Make filenames meaningful and searchable
  • Maintain consistency: Establish and follow naming conventions

⚠️ Common Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Duplicate names: Ensure unique filenames to prevent overwrites
  • Invalid characters: Avoid characters not allowed in filenames
  • Path length limits: Keep total path length under 260 characters
  • Case sensitivity: Be aware of case differences on different systems
  • Special characters: Test with international characters carefully
