How to Batch Rename Files from your iPhone / iPad

Add Text

You can add text to the beginning or the end of all the files you selected. For example "Presentation_Filename.pdf" or "Filename_Presentation.pdf". See our Add Text guide.

Find and Replace

Find and replace words within your file names. For example you could bulk rename all ".jpeg" files to ".jpg" files or replace "IMG_" as the prefix for all your files and change it to "DSC_".

This method would preserve existing image numbers in the filename. See our Find and Replace guide.

Format

Add an Index, a Counter or a Date before or after your existing filenames by leaving the Custom Format box empty. For example:

• "IMG_0.jpg" Index
• "IMG_0000.jpg" Counter
• "IMG_2018-09-27 at 15.46.36.jpg" Date

If you use the Custom Format box, existing file names will be replaced with the text. For example if you want to rename all your photos that were previously something like this:

• "IMG_0156.JPG"
• "_DSC0267543.JPG"
• "Family_Holiday_9342.JPG"

You can rename them all to be "Holiday_(date).JPG", replacing any names they previously had. See our rename files with date taken guide.

EXIF

Add EXIF meta data to your filenames. For example:

• "OriginalName-Model.jpg"
• "IMG_DDMMYYYY-ISO.jpg"
• "IMG_FocalLength-ExposureTime-DDMMYYYY.jpg"

EXIF renaming is only available in FileBrowser Professional and FileBrowserGO. See our renaming files with EXIF properties guide.
