About this tool
Rename a batch of images using patterns — sequential numbering, prefixes, suffixes, or template strings. Saves you from clicking through each file in your file manager when you've got a folder of `IMG_4827.jpg` to turn into `vacation_001.jpg` … `vacation_050.jpg`. Outputs a ZIP with renamed files; originals are untouched.
When to use it
- Renaming a folder of phone photos to a project-specific naming scheme
- Producing sequentially-numbered files for a slide-show or web gallery
- Adding a date or category prefix to every file in a batch
- Standardising naming across imports from different sources
- Producing client-deliverable filenames from internal naming conventions
What to expect
Pattern syntax supports placeholders like `{n}` (sequential number), `{ext}` (original extension), `{name}` (original basename). Numbering can start from any value with custom padding. Original files in your file manager are never modified — the tool produces a ZIP of renamed copies.
Frequently asked questions
What pattern placeholders are supported?
`{n}` for the sequential number, `{name}` for the original filename without extension, `{ext}` for the extension, and literal text. Combine them: `vacation_{n}.{ext}` produces `vacation_1.jpg`, `vacation_2.jpg`, etc.
Can I start numbering from a specific value?
Yes. Set the starting number and zero-padding length (e.g., start from 100, pad to 3 digits → `vacation_100`, `vacation_101`).
Will this rename the original files?
No — renaming happens on copies. The original files in your file manager stay untouched. The output is a ZIP of renamed copies that you can use as you see fit.
