Windows can handle some basic file renaming in batches, but not with the power and simplicity of this tool, which changes extensions and can undo renames. Use the preview function to see the new name before giving the okay

My experience with File Renamer was great. I had tried several other trial versions of file renaming programs, but yours was by far the easiest to use. Some programs were so convoluted it was impossible to get them to do what you wanted to do, simply rename files in a rational, straight-forward manner. File Renamer is great, allowing you to preview the result of your change, and being able to undo the result.

File Renamer is a Godsend! I bought a camera for my girlfriend and we took a trip to Panama. We took over 900 pictures with 2 different camera's and because of that the file names were different. I am a web developer and I wanted to create a very simple slideshow on a simple website (Panama2011.com) and not use Flickr. For the code in the slideshow to work, all the files needed to have a common naming convention. After watching the video tutorial, File Rename did it for me in seconds! It allowed me to customize the filenames and do all sorts of stuff I've wanted to do for years, but couldn't. Thanks Winsome!

I am a photographer that takes thousands of pictures and eventually even my cameras go round the clock and produce pictures with the same number. File renamer enabled me to change all the prefixes for relevant files/photo shoots very quickly indeed and I love that if you make a mistake that it allows you to recover the original file names. It does exactly what I needed it to do and I am entirely satisfied and am delighted with it. The programme is easy to use and has saved me hours of renaming JPEG files.

I've been using File Renamer for about four years. I use it both at work and at home. Whether it's for work or for home, if digital file management is an important part of what you do, GET FILE RENAMER. It will save you time, and it will save you a lot of headache! This is a fantastic product that works as expected, is always being updated with new features, and is worth more than what it's being sold for! Keep up the good work.

- Bryan Synder.

Your software is very well written. At the price point you offered it, it was like a gift. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to something that you love! All the best.

- Walter Anderson.

My experience with your software is so far only positive. I was using Namewiz before this but was frustrated that it didn't have the feature to sort files by photo-date (only very limited sorting capabilities). I have been looking for a good renaming software both high and low, and yours is the best I have found. After trying your software there is no going back to Namewiz. Keep up the good work.

- Jeffrey Wall, Sweden.

File Renamer is a wonderful bless. I can in a very short time make hundreds of documents easy to search and then organize, which in essence mean that I get it done. File Renamer offers a really unique versatility in all the parameters that can be easily set and results in perfect renaming of files. I found after trying several different demo products that File Renamer just gave me the best and easiest options, that I like the most and it works rock steady. Perfect! Thanks for a wonderful product.

- Steen Ricks Olsen.

Easy, more powerful than what I needed at this time but good to have, it did what I needed to do and I was pleased with the feature allowing you to verify or confirm the changes before applying them, one could always revert. I was searching and had tried another software before (trial version, erratic behaviours, poor display), it just doesn't compare with this one at all whom is by far superior, complete for my needs. Even if you have more than 100 files, it makes easy to do so and in a few seconds! I can see the many usage for such a utility either business or personal.

- Yves Chapleau.

Congratulations on an excellent product. It is TERRIFIC software. I loved the product so much after using it on my Mac computer at home that I bought the PC version for use on my office computer. The PC version is just as easy to use, and just as helpful. Anyone who has to keep track of a morass of information should buy File Renamer. I did – "twice"!

- Walter Moore.

File Renamer is easy to use and it didn't take long to understand how to work the program to make it do exactly what I wanted to. I had several thousand sound samples named in different ways and with File Renamer, I could easily make up rules to straighten them all out. With little effort I renamed about 50.000 files and was able to straighten up the layout of my samples. I especially like the way you can move parts of the filename to another position which is very useful if you've used different naming standards over time. Try out the demo and see for yourself what it can do for you! , President, Electric Fantastic Sound.

- Johan Billing, President, Electric Fantastic Sound.

Thanks you for an amazing program. The first time in my life I feel I have paid too little for something. It does what it says in a very easy to understand manner, nothing complicated. The fact that it shows you exactly what the new name will look like is fantastic as you do not have to guess and run tests. Anything that can rename 572 files in less than a few seconds is a winner in my book!!!!!!!! Thank You for making my life easier.

- Harry.

I needed to re-name several hundred digital photographs after they disappeared from a camera memory card. I managed to get them back using recovery software, but the programme used its own system of file naming, which wasn't what I wanted. I needed to get back to the original system of file names and numbers. I could have renamed the files manually, but of course that would have taken a very long time. I came across your product when I was looking for some software that would allow me to do the job using batch re-naming. Once I figured out how to use the software, I was able to make the changes very quickly...the product did exactly what I wanted for a very modest price. I am happy to say that I have found this product really useful. Thank you!

- Peter Gould.

File Renamer is so easy to use and it is a HUGE time saver. Originally, before I found File Renamer, I had to rename each file ONE AT A TIME! It took forever, and sometimes I would accidently start playing an episode or movie because I double clicked to fast. It was pretty bad, so I looked online and found your product and ever since then it's been smooth sailing. Thank you for your great product.

- Charles Easton IV.

I use file renamer mostly for image work for our website. This is done by the program in seconds, when before it used to take ages, as I used to do it manually (in the old days!!) Also the program is invaluable for a person's own images, probably most people just download images from their camera and view thumbnails of the images, thousands of them, but file renamer is again ideal for old fashioned naming changes to help identify huge batches of images. The program works and works well, never crashes and, for me, saves a pile of work and is an invaluable piece of software.

I have been a user of Winsome File renamer for several years. It is a spectacular product, with an equally spectacular support team. Refreshingly, Winsome has accepted product ideas with a positive mind set and implemented requested features promptly. This is a rare level of service. Until File Rename, I spent HOURS assigning mnemonic filenames for my photos, using excel spread sheets. One day, out of utter frustration, I searched the web for a file-renaming software. My search returned File Renamer and I have been using it ever since.

I needed a very fast tool for renumbering huge numbers of files in a digital film pipeline. File Renamer is lightning quick, far faster than other tools I have tried. Other tools promised to take hours to rename the 177,000 frames in my sequence; File Renamer did it in only ten minutes.

- Bryan Ray, Blue Hemisphere 3d.

I love your product. Very easy to understand & use. I like that it lets me preview the changes before applying, so that I don't do anything stupid. Saves me a bunch of time. I use it in conjunction with PDF Split And Merge to turn 100-page documents into individually numbered files. I am a delighted customer.

- David Ward, Salix Ventures.

I develop software and have been doing so since the early eighties. I have worked on a verity of operating system from mainframes to PC and even some Macs. One of my great disappointments with the PC OS is that they lack a built-in tool such as yours. It is one of those things that I use only a couple of time a year but when you need it, you need it! Your product gets the job done and is well written. The interface is intuitive and simple to use. I like you product and will be using it well into the future.

My computer crashed and I needed to restore over 170,000 files. The restore went fine but it renamed all of my files with a "&0" in every single file, for example file.jpg became file&0.jpg. I was able to download the free trial and test to see if it worked, realizing that it does work, I installed the full version and in less than 3 minutes, File Renamer fixed all of my files to their original name. What a life saver. Thank You for the perfect product.

- Bill Wegener, Lighthouse Media, Inc.

I test hundreds of zipped files at a time that have already been processed and have had their extensions renamed to "processed". Winsome File Renamer has saved me countless hours of waiting for original files or manually changing file extensions by using the File Renamer functionality to automatically rename all of the files in the folder at once. I also often use Visual Basic to gather data and record counts from the individual files but that requires a Loop command so I simply delete the date/time portion of my file names and change them to -1, -2, -3, etc. so that my loop works in my VBA code. Winsome File Renamer is one of my favourite applications for testing large groups of files. - Tim Schrag.

I was looking a software to rename over 30,000 jpg images . The modification wasn't simple, and I have to add and modify a different number of character on each file . I was planning this will be a one or two days job. Even worse . With the Winsome File Renamer , it took me ... 10 minutes !!! Thank you so much !!

- Guillaume Sanfaçon.

I found your program to be very helpful in converting jpg names. It saved much time and trouble by being able to quickly convert names. The program is very easy to use and I was very satisfied with your program.

- Steven Wachtel.

This is amazing, the best "rename software" on the market. I'm a professional motorsport photographer and i work with a lot of images each grand prix; i searched a software that would allow me to rename the jpg inside a folder using the same folder name and in sequential mode. Your software does this action perfectly and quickly.

- Manuel Eletto.

I purchased File Renamer to help me organize my 100's of digital photograph files that date back to 2003. File Renamer has many different renaming options. I can rename the files in a sequential number series - for me this is one of the most useful features. Another very useful feature is renaming files from the image EXIF data, such as camera make and model, date taken etc. It can also insert and delete, replace and remove, add prefixes and suffixes. It is very easy to use, reliable, stable and has a good undo feature.

- Colin McKenzie.

I handle thousands of multimedia files coming from different sources with different names but having common domain. I rename them to their common domain Winsome File Renamer is a very powerful file renamer with sharp selective renaming capabilities. Congratulations!!! I am a delighted customer.

- Andre Elias.

I have only really started using your product but so far so good. A former magazine photographer, my wife and I still travel a great deal and it is important sort photo files  into "albums" or some grouping(s) that are not necessarily sequential or consecutive. I often add additional information after the file name--such as Samoa-2012 or other information for future quick identification. Good luck with your products.

- Jim Forney.

I needed a new way to rename my photo's since the software I was using for it stopped working under Windows 7.

On Cnet I read some reviews and got most interested in File Renamer, since it was just made for what I needed. So I put my trust in File Renamer and purchased even before trying the partial possibilities of the evaluation version.
I wanted to get started right away (since I had already a backlog), and I'm very happy with the result.

It works fast and accurate and the fact that you can roll back is certaily an added value. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

- Werner Lefebvre.

My experience with your software is perfect. Renaming files used to require continuous work for several hours, but the File Renamer does the job in just a few clicks. It has probably saved me for tens, if not hundreds of hours.

- Simen S.

File Renamer worked very well and I was very happy with the results I got.I had hundreds of mp3 files which included some music and some Classic Radio Programs. I wanted to name these files so they would play in a certain order. I used File Renamer to generate names in alphabetical order the way I want them to play.I was able to get them to play in the exact order I wanted.Thank you for a VERY GOOD PRODUCT.

- Ira Baker.

I have a large mp3 library I have converted over the years. Unfortunately when I rip the music with different programs. I get different prefixes on the songs. Also when you have the music on an original CD release and then get a "Best of" CD you end up with duplicates. I would then copy the dups onto my music player. This program was fantastic in helping me find and eliminate the dups. This also helps with the random setting for music playback. I am currently converting all the file names on my 30K+ Pictures.

- Rick Repp.

As I serve as the Network and Web Administrator for a national non-profit organization, I work with numerous file mediums that must be originated, edited or renamed to and from our media servers.

I have been searching quite a while for such an application that would provide a structure similar to the DOS command line for file manipulation (full wildcard enabled batch rename, delete, copy), or any application that would perform this tedious function. While I have not discovered a command line example as yet, I did find the next best solution called "File Renamer For Mac". Although completely a GUI, it does exactly what I need, quickly and efficiently without a learning curve. I am quite happy, but did actually ask the author if they would consider adding command line functionality to their app in the same structure and format as the DOS command line for file manipulation. They said they would actively consider writing such a feature into this application. I am most impressed.

An inexpensive tool that provides greater productivity means everything to me.

I congratulate you on File Renamer. It is an excellent product.  As a litigation attorney, I receive and generate numerous computer files that need to be renamed.  It accomplishes this task with ease.  For example, I have used File Renamer to rename voluminous pdf files received in the course of discovery so that the filename coincides with the Bates numbers stamped on the pdf images.  I know of no other program that accomplishes this important step with as much ease and flexibility.  I also want to say that it is extremely easy to learn.  It is also very powerful and flexible.  I know of no other program that is anywhere nearly as good.  File Renamer is well worth the price!  Thank you! 

- Mark J. Wilson.

I have been using File Renamer for a few days now. I use it to rename photographic files so that I can control what it was that I photographed and also to sequence them when I start to delete those photos that I do not want to keep. It avoids having missing numbers in the sequence. I am pleased with it as it does what I want and is very quick.

- John Sanders.

I have been using File Renamer since 2005.  I loved it so much that I have recommended it to several friends who have also purchased it.  I do event photography and use File Renamer to clean up the file names after they are downloaded to help with organizing them. 

Last week I helped a friend who was shooting an ICHA Cutting Event at Idaho Horse Park in Boise.  The Horses have multiple riders and compete on several occasions over the 9 days of the competition. I needed to combine all photos of each team and rename the entire events' images.  While trying to figure out the best way to rename 390 folders worth of photos (6500 images) I decided to check out the newest version of File Renamer (ver 10).  What would have taken hours before only took 4 minutes!! 

This program is so comprehensive that I have a hard time thinking of anything to make it better.  However, I thought that last time and you amazed me with each upgrade.

Thank you for all the effort in making this program everything that it is.

- Mark White, Event Photo Logistics.

I can't live without the Winsome Renamer utility. I use it to convert upper case file extensions to lower case, and to rename image files for use in my shopping carts. I also love to use it to export a list of the names of files in a directory.

- Karen Marinelli.

I needed File Renamer to remove special character from files. It was all good, renames them quickly.

- Kathy Preuss

I'm enjoying the program. I use it to rename music and picture files to my library's naming conventions. I had a previous program that used regular expressions to rename and it was much more difficult to come up with the expressions I needed. Your software makes it easier to rename the files the way I want.

- Cathy.

File Renamed worked really well. It saved me a ton of time. It runs in the background (no dialogues that interrupt you) and is very fast. Our past file naming system was rather messy. With a couple passes through Renamer, I was able to unify the file scheme.

- Justin Johnson.

Well, after using two other products to rename huge numbers of files for my photo library, I finally discovered File Renamer.  It is very easy to use, and extremely accurate in renaming files.  My only complaint would be that it is too fast.  I couldn't go for a coffee refill while it worked, as it was done before I got out of my chair.  User friendly,  easy GUI on the eyes as well.  I would not hesitate to recommend this program to anyone with vast amounts of files to manage.  Photographers (stock galleries) or librarians should take note.
