About Advanced Renamer
Advanced Renamer renames many files and folders at once by combining renaming methods. There are 13 methods for adding, removing, replacing or changing case in names, giving files new names, and changing timestamps. Files can also be copied or moved to new locations based on information inside them.
New names can use metadata such as a photo's date, time, dimensions, camera model or GPS data. You can check the output before running the batch, and undo the whole batch afterwards. Version 4.25 was released on 2026-09-01.
