How to organize files and folders
When several files need the same naming rule, work on their filenames as a group. File Management Organize Tools currently includes Batch File Renamer, which applies prefixes, suffixes, find-and-replace rules, case conversion, padded sequence numbers, and date tokens. You can review each proposed name, exclude items from the batch, and download renamed copies while the original files stay untouched.
Rename a group of files with one rule
- Batch File Renamer changes multiple filenames using one set of rules. Apply a prefix or suffix, use find and replace for repeated text, change letter case, add sequence numbers with padding, or insert date tokens. The preview places each original name beside its proposed replacement before you download renamed copies.
Match filenames to a naming pattern
A prefix adds the same starting text to the selected names. A suffix adds text at the end. Find and replace changes repeated text, which is useful when the same word appears across a group of filenames.
Case conversion changes capitalization across the batch. Sequence numbering with padding gives numbered filenames the same number shape. Date tokens add date information to the proposed names, based on the option you select in Batch File Renamer.
Review proposed names before downloading
The preview pairs every original filename with its proposed filename. Check the pairings before downloading, then exclude any item that should keep its current name. Exclusion removes that item from the renamed set.
Batch File Renamer leaves the original files untouched. It downloads renamed copies, so the files you started with remain available after the batch is complete.
Choose the rule that fits the filenames
Use a prefix or suffix when every selected filename needs the same text added. Use find and replace when the names already contain text that should change. Check the preview after choosing the rule, since the proposed names show how that rule applies to each file.
For numbered files, sequence numbering with padding keeps the numbering format consistent across the batch. Case conversion handles capitalization changes, and date tokens add date information to the proposed names.
Find another file management tool
Choose Batch File Renamer when several filenames need a shared rule. For other file jobs, open File Management Tools and choose the category that matches the task. This organize category currently contains Batch File Renamer, with previews, exclusions, and downloaded renamed copies.
