What Flash Renamer is
Flash Renamer is a Windows utility for automatically renaming batches of files, photos, folders, and music. It can change case, add or remove text, trim spaces, rearrange filename parts, and modify numbers. Search and replace accepts ordinary strings, metadata tags, wildcards, and regular expressions, while a real-time preview shows proposed changes and undo is unlimited. Music tools can rename from tags or write tags from filenames for formats including MP3, OGG Vorbis, WMA, MP4, FLAC, MPC, SPX, TTA, and WV. Photo support includes Exif and IPTC tags, thumbnails, and file-date or attribute changes. Users can create scripted rules, save presets, process CSV lists, and run presets from the command line. ExifTool can add media properties and tags. The program has a tabbed interface and portable version, supports Windows XP through Windows 11 in 32-bit and 64-bit editions, and offers a fully functional trial.
