Bulk Rename Utility
Bulk Rename Utility renames multiple files and entire folders in Windows using configurable rules. It can add, replace, or insert filename text, change case, alter extensions, and add dates or automatic numbers. A detailed preview shows proposed names before changes are applied. Rules can use photo EXIF data, MP3 ID3 tags, and Windows file properties. For more involved tasks, it supports regular expressions, JavaScript renaming, filters, subdirectory processing, and CSV input lists. The utility can create an undo batch file and save a log of renaming activity. Optional PDF and MediaInfo extensions expose document and audio/video metadata as tags, and require version 4.1.0.0 or newer. A portable version is available. The maker lists Windows 11, 10, 8, and 7, Windows on ARM, and specified Windows Server versions. Personal home use is free. Listed paid options include Home / Academic at $24.95 a month for one computer and a Commercial license at $92.95 as a one-time purchase per computer.
