What Rename Expert is
Rename Expert is paid Windows software for batch renaming files and folders with configurable actions. It can use EXIF, IPTC, and ID3 metadata from images, audio, and video, plus regular expressions and a command-line version for automation. The program previews proposed names in real time and checks for conflicts such as duplicates. It can rename more than 100,000 files and folders in one operation, then move or copy items into folders generated from properties such as photo date, artist, or album. Unicode names, network file operations, and paths longer than 260 characters are supported. Windows Explorer’s Send To menu and drag-and-drop can open selected items. The download page lists Windows Server and Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, and Vista. Installation does not require an active internet connection. Pricing starts at €39.95 with a 30-day trial and no free plan. Purchased licenses provide indefinite usage; multi-user licenses support concurrent users.
