ReNamer is a Windows utility for applying ordered rules to files and folders. Its standard operations cover inserting, removing, or replacing text, changing letter case or extensions, adding sequence numbers, and cleaning up filenames. You can combine rules and save named presets for reuse. Renaming can also use music tags, photo metadata, image dimensions, video information, document properties, and file checksums. Regular expressions and Pascal Script support custom logic and links with external tools, while Unicode support accommodates non-English filenames. A change preview and undo are listed capabilities. The free Lite edition is for non-commercial use and allows up to five rules and five presets. Pro costs 29.95 USD once, permits commercial use, and has an indefinitely valid license. Pro updates are included for two years after purchase; further updates require renewal. ReNamer supports Windows 2000 and later, with installer and portable downloads available.
