Bulk Rename Utility – Advanced File Renaming Made Easy<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bulk<\/p>\n

Today, we’re going to discuss renaming files. One thing almost all of us computer users do is rename files. There are many reasons why we all need to rename files, but let’s use an example we can all relate to. Photos. Most of us take photos with a smartphone (or digital camera) and when they’re saved they are given arcane names like 0101142003 or DSC2301. Maybe that works for general everyday pictures, but what about those special pictures like the birth of your grandchild, a special vacation, a wedding, etc?<\/span><\/p>\n

You can rename files using nothing more than File Explorer in Windows 10 or Windows 11. And for general file renaming, it works well. Most of us won’t need anything else… See this page for our tutorial.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

But some of you want to do advanced file renaming – for example using different prefixes and\/or suffixes for files in a folder. Our freeware pick automatically renames photos individually using the EXIF (metadata) that’s included in the coding for all JPG files. You can’t do advanced file renaming with Windows File Explorer. You’re going to need something else.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several weeks ago, Cynthia wrote to us because she needed a utility to do some advanced file renaming, and asked us for a suggestion. We suggested Easy File Renamer https:\/\/easyfilerenamer.com\/index.html as a good choice for renaming files, but even it would not do the advanced file renaming she needed to do (adding different suffixes and prefixes to files in the same folder). But our suggestion did lead her to a program called “Bulk Rename Utility” which allowed her to do all the complex file renaming she needed to do, including adding different prefixes\/suffixes to files in the same folder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although we didn’t have any advanced file renaming we needed to do, we did put the program though some tests and barely scratched the surface of what this amazing program can do. Perhaps the most amazing thing about the Bulk Rename Utility is that it is FREE for personal\/private use.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some screenshots we took during our test just to show you some of the features the Bulk Rename Utility has…<\/span><\/p>\n
