AI Bulk File & Photo Renamer

Overview

Features & Capabilities

Version 3.4 is here! All-new Vision AI auto-renaming and full multi-language support in 7 languages.

THE MOST POWERFUL BATCH FILE RENAMING APP FOR MAC AND IOS.

BatchRename transforms hours of manual file renaming into seconds. Our intuitive interface makes bulk renaming effortless. Whether you're a photographer organizing RAW files, a musician tagging an album library, a developer cleaning up project assets, or anyone who works with files - BatchRename handles it all.

WHY BATCHRENAME? BatchRename is built from the ground up using native SwiftUI. Manual renaming is slow, error-prone, and painful - BatchRename gives you a live preview before you commit, an interactive Undo History to safely roll back changes, and a powerful rule engine that handles any renaming scenario imaginable.

User Reviews

Hello, when executing the rename on iOS, no action happens after I click confirm? There is no history saved nor are the files renamed. It doesn't matter whether the files are in iCloud or on my iPhone. When clicking rename, each file flickers, but nothing happens. Could you add a feature which allows one to choose whether the files are renamed in place or they are duplicated? The "duplicate file" quick action doesn't work. I also bought the full package. This app is very awesome. Thanks Edit: It has worked for me if I share a folder from the files app rather than open a folder from within the app ********************************** Can you add capture groups in the regex search and replace feature? It would be very helpful to be able to use $1, $2, etc
