About

Advanced Renamer is a program for renaming multiple files and folders at once. By configuring renaming methods the names can be manipulated in various ways. It is easy to set up a batch job using multiple methods on a large amount of files. The 14 different methods enables you to change the names, attributes, and timestamps of files in one go. The files can also be copied or moved to new locations based on information in the files.

    Tip: You can also drag and drop files or folders from Windows Explorer to Advanced Renamer.

Setup Renaming Methods

  2. Click the button Add method and select a method in the appearing window. We will be using New name method in this example. With the New Name method you can construct a completely new filename based on known information of each individual file.
  3. In the box called New Name you can write the new name of the file. Type in "MyFile_<Inc Nr:1>.<Ext>" (without the quotes).
  4. If you look in the column called New Filename you can see the new filename each file will have. As you see <Inc Nr:1> will be replaced with a incrementing number starting from 1 and <Ext> will be replaced with the file extension.
