Instead of Advanced Renamer
Advanced Renamer alternatives
Advanced Renamer handles bulk changes to file and folder names on Windows and macOS. Its 13 methods cover text replacement, case changes, renumbering, timestamps, JavaScript, and other rules. You can preview names before a batch and undo completed work. It can draw on image, video, audio, and document metadata, including EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and ID3, and use embedded GPS coordinates for location names. Batch modes also copy or move items, and a Windows-only command-line runner automates saved configurations. A portable version is available.

An alternative may fit better if you need a file manager, remote transfers, shared storage, or access beyond a desktop rename utility. Advanced Renamer's free plan is for occasional personal use, allows up to 10,000 files per batch, and permits up to five methods per batch. Personal and commercial plans have no listed prices, while supported downloads require Windows 10 or later or macOS 11 or later. Compare your required platform, whether renaming remains central, and the value of archive tools, cloud connections, network protocols, mobile access, sharing, or multi-pane navigation.
