Batch File Renamer

Rename files in bulk, with prefixes, suffixes, and sequential numbering

Rename Files in Bulk, Not One by One

A batch file renamer takes the tedious, error-prone process of renaming files individually and turns it into a single, repeatable operation. Instead of clicking into each file, typing a new name, and hoping you don't lose track of where you were, a batch renamer applies one rule, or a combination of rules, across an entire selection of files at once.

Turbo Bulk Renaming Tool covers the full range of batch renaming needs: adding or removing prefixes and suffixes, sequential numbering with custom start numbers and zero-padding, find and replace with optional regular expressions, case conversion, character trimming, and inserting text at a specific position in the filename.

Every change is shown in a live preview before you rename anything, and the app can export a full log of the operation to CSV, XLSX, or TXT, giving you a written record of every original and renamed file for your own reference or for a client deliverable.

Beyond the core workflow built for batch File Renamer, Turbo Bulk Renaming Tool includes the full renaming toolkit found throughout the application: regex-based find and replace for advanced pattern matching, EXIF date extraction for photo libraries, case conversion for consistent capitalization, character trimming to strip a fixed number of characters from either end of a filename, text insertion at any position, and recursive folder scanning that pulls in files from every nested sub-folder. Any of these tools can be layered on top of the rules described above, so a job that starts as a simple rename can grow into a complete naming convention without switching to a different application.

The application itself is a one-time purchase for Windows 10 and Windows 11, with no subscription, no watermarks added to renamed files, and no data ever leaving your PC during a rename operation. Every batch can be logged to CSV, XLSX, or TXT so you always have a written record of the original and new name for each file, and any combination of rules you build can be saved as a reusable preset, so a renaming job you configure today is ready to run again in a couple of clicks the next time the same kind of files come in.

For teams and individuals who rename the same kind of files repeatedly, the combination of live preview, saved presets, and exportable logs turns batch File Renamer from an occasional chore into a routine, low-risk step in a larger workflow. You configure the rules once, confirm the result looks right, and from then on a job that used to take an afternoon of manual renaming takes a few clicks, with a clear written record left behind for anyone who needs to check exactly what changed and when.

How to Batch Rename Files
  1. Install Turbo Bulk Renaming Tool on your Windows PC.

  3. Pick a renaming rule such as prefix, suffix, find and replace, or numbering.
  4. Adjust the rule's settings and watch the live preview update.
  5. Add more rules if you need to combine several changes at once.
  6. Set your extension handling: keep, force, or remove.
  7. Choose a sort order if sequential numbering depends on file order.
  8. Click Rename and optionally export a log of the batch.
  9. Double-check the live preview one more time for any file that looks unexpected.
  10. Save your configuration as a preset if this is a job you expect to repeat.
  11. If you're renaming a recurring job, note down the settings or save them as a preset so the next run takes seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I combine multiple renaming rules in one batch?

Yes, you can stack rules, such as removing a prefix, trimming whitespace, and adding sequential numbers, and apply them all together in a single rename operation.

Does it support regular expressions for renaming?

Yes, find and replace includes an optional regex mode for advanced pattern matching.

How does sort order affect numbering?

You can choose the sort order files are numbered in, such as by name or by date, so sequential numbers follow the order you actually want.

Can I keep a record of what was renamed?

Yes, the app can export a full rename log to CSV, XLSX, or TXT after each batch.

Does this work on both Windows 10 and Windows 11?

Yes, Turbo Bulk Renaming Tool is built and tested for both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Is my data safe when using this tool?

Yes, all renaming happens locally on your PC; no files are uploaded or sent anywhere, so private or sensitive files stay fully under your control.

Can I try a renaming rule without permanently committing to it?

Yes, the live preview lets you experiment with any rule and see the exact result before you click Rename, so nothing changes until you're ready.

Do I need to install anything else for this to work?

No, the installer includes everything needed; there are no separate dependencies or plugins to set up.

Can I rename files stored on an external or network drive?

Yes, you can select files from local drives, external drives, or mapped network shares, the same as any folder on your PC.

Can I cancel a rename operation partway through?

Yes, safe cancel support lets you stop an in-progress rename, and any files already renamed at that point stay renamed while the rest keep their original names.

What if I select a mix of files and folders together?

You can rename files and folders in the same selection; the same rule set applies to both, and the live preview shows the result for each.

Can I see exactly what changed after a rename is finished?

Yes, the exported rename log lists the original and new name side by side for every file, giving you a complete record of the operation even after the fact.

Does the tool support both files and folders in the same rule set?

Yes, the same prefix, suffix, numbering, and find and replace rules apply equally whether your selection contains files, folders, or a mix of both.
