BatchRename Free Edition

BatchRename Free Edition is a professional software application that helps users rename files and folders, while allowing them to rename images using EXIF data and MP3 files using ID3v1 tags.

It sports a clean and straightforward layout that offers quick access to the files and folders stored in the computer, so you can easily select the ones to be renamed. Plus, the tool lets you add items and directories using the “drag and drop” option.

The application supports batch processing, which means you can add multiple items and directories to the list, and rename them at the same time.

BatchRename Free Edition gives users the possibility to set up rules for the renaming process, namely add prefixes and suffixes, insert characters at a random position, truncate filenames, remove characters between a specified position, replace file extensions (JPEG with JPG), as well as use uppercase or lowercase letters.

What’s more, the application enables you to add suffixes for pictures using EXIF data, namely camera name, original date time, ISO speed, exposure time, shutter speed, and lens aperture. When it comes to renaming MP3 files, you can rename files using the song’s title, album, artist, genre, bitrate, frequency, comment, track, and year.

Among its best features is the wide range of predefined renaming rules that you can choose form. Plus, you are allowed to create your own favorite rules. What’s more, you can preview the renaming result, undo your actions, as well as view the files’ properties (including MP3 tag info and EXIF data).

All things considered, BatchRename Free Edition comes packed with many useful features for helping you rename files and folders using predefined or custom rules.

If you are looking for advanced features, you can check out the professional version of the program, which offers support for command-line operations, all ID3 tags, encryption operations, picture adjustments (resizing, rotating and flipping), and batch conversion tasks.
