Batch File Renamer: Sequential Archive Names
Sorting mixed filenames after a shoot takes hours. Rename up to 20 files in your browser, adding a prefix and sequential numbers. Original extensions stay unchanged. Use dashes instead of special characters.
Step by step
- Upload up to 20 files under 50 MB total.
- Type a naming pattern with start number 001.
- Add a date prefix in year-month-day format.
- Check new names in the preview list.
- Download renamed files, keep originals separately.
Example scenario
Photographer Deniz collected shots from two cameras. She loaded them in groups of twenty and applied sequential names. Mixed codes disappeared and selection became easier.
