What it is
RenameKit is a visual batch file renamer for creators, developers, and people organizing media libraries or large folders. It shows current and proposed filenames side by side and detects conflicts before applying changes. Users can stack more than 40 rules for text, numbering, regular expressions, metadata, and extensions without scripts. It can rename any file type; metadata rules cover JPEG and TIFF EXIF, MP3 and FLAC tags, and MP4 and MOV video metadata. RenameKit runs locally and says files stay on the user’s computer. A full batch can be undone, even after restarting the app. Downloads cover Windows x64, macOS Apple Silicon and Intel, Linux AppImage, and Debian/Ubuntu. The free plan includes a three-day full-feature trial, then limits batches to 20 items. The Lifetime License costs $9.99 as a one-time purchase payment and includes presets and a CLI tool. A purchased license can be transferred after deactivation, and refunds can be requested within 14 days.
