File-renaming PC utility tool
ReNamer is a free utility program for PCs coming from developer den4b. It's a robust file-renaming tool that lets users manage and rename any file on their computer through an intuitive, unified user interface. It can handle and process multiple files at the same time and works with any format.
Comparable to Rename Master or Bulk Rename Group, ReNamer boasts an extensive feature set, catering to advanced users with things like creating rule sets, support for Regular Expressions and Pascal Script rules, and more. There's also a one-time license purchase option for commercial use and to unlock even more features.
ReNamer is a small, simple looking batch file renamer that is considerably more powerful than it looks. First things first. Although ReNamer is easy enough to use, its wealth of renaming options is considerable and definitely aimed at the more advanced user. The ReNamer interface, however, is simple to navigate - the top section is where you define your renaming rules, and below is where you add the files and preview the results.
The number of renaming options available with ReNamer is truly impressive. From simple prefixes and extension changes to stripping content out of brackets and programming your own renaming rules, it can do pretty much anything you throw at it. It also goes without saying that ReNamer easily handles batch renaming.
What's more, this software is Unicode capable, can rename folders as well as files, and supports a selection of meta-tags. There's a good help document that contains a getting started guide, it integrates into Windows' context menus and, last but not least, has full configuration options. Quite simply, this app is one of the best advanced-use batch renamers we've ever seen and used.
A must for file management
To sum up, if you regularly work with multiple files and are looking for a way to rename and manage them in a systematic way, ReNamer is a handy and capable tool that you should check out. Whether it's for simple renaming or advanced rule-based applications, it can cater to all use cases. Give it a try and see for yourself.
