File Management Tools

Analyze files and folders

Analyze Tools is for inspection. It includes Duplicate File Finder, File Age & Path-Length Analyzer, File Encoding & Line-Ending Analyzer, File Type Detector, and Folder Size Analyzer. Use these pages to check duplicates, file ages, path lengths, encodings, line endings, file types, or folder sizes.

Clean names and metadata

Clean Tools covers filename and metadata cleanup. Filename Sanitizer handles filenames, while Metadata Remover handles metadata. Choose this hub when you need to sanitize a filename or remove metadata from a file.

Generate or organize a folder structure

Generate Tools contains Folder Tree Generator, which generates a folder tree. Organize Tools contains Batch File Renamer, which handles batch renaming. Choose Generate Tools for a folder structure and Organize Tools for a group of filenames that need a batch rename.

Choose the right file management tool

Start with Analyze Tools when you need details about a file or folder. Choose Clean Tools for filename or metadata cleanup, and choose Organize Tools for a batch rename. For a different file operation, File Tools groups tools for compressing, converting, editing, merging, splitting, and repairing files.
