Bulk Rename Utility lets you combine multiple renaming rules. For example, you can replace text, add serial numbers or delete parts of a name. An example column shows what the new names will look like before you run the change.

The interface contains many options at once. Therefore, work with a small selection and add lines step by step. Filenames can affect links from other programs; for example, do not rename project files outside the program if that program expects fixed paths.

For many file names at the same time, a clear preview and rules for numbering, text replacement and metadata are important. Check conflicts and the order in which rules are applied. First, make a small selection if you change the name of a large archive.

Our verdict

Bulk Rename Utility is especially useful when your renaming task consists of more than a simple number sequence. You can direct different parts of a name and see in advance what the combination does. That makes it suitable for recurring scan or photo collections.

The many options do require discipline. Start with copies of a small selection and check that names remain unique. Then add larger numbers. For a single simple numbering, Verkenner can be enough. Choose this tool when you need rules that you would otherwise have to apply manually to hundreds of files.
