How to Rename Multiple Files at Once

Renaming multiple files at once means applying a single rule — or a sequence of rules — to an entire group of selected files in one operation, rather than opening and editing each filename individually. The specific rule you need depends on what you're trying to achieve: adding consistent text, fixing inconsistent formatting, removing unwanted characters, or numbering files in order.

A bulk renaming tool brings all of these options together in one place, so whichever transformation you need, you select your files once, choose a rule, and apply it across the whole group.

1. Install Turbo Bulk Renaming Tool on your Windows PC.
2. Open the app and load the folder containing the files you want to rename.
3. Browse the available renaming rules — Find & Replace, Sequential Numbering, Case Conversion, Prefix, Suffix, Insert at Position, Trim Whitespace, Remove First or Last N Characters, and EXIF Date Prefix, among others.
4. Select the rule that matches your goal and configure its settings.
5. Review the live preview to confirm the result across all selected files.
6. Click Rename to apply the change to every file in the group in one action.
