What Simple Renamer is
Simple Renamer is a Windows utility for batch-renaming files with rules that can be stacked and arranged in sequence. Its options include find and replace, sequential numbering, case changes, cleanup, regular expressions, file dates, photo EXIF data, and MP3 ID3 tags. A live preview shows original and proposed filenames before changes are applied. Each batch is saved in undo history and can be reversed even after the program closes. Users can save rule combinations as reusable presets. Batches can include sub-folders, and renamed files can remain in place or be saved as copies in another folder. The FAQ says a batch can contain up to 20,000 files. Simple Renamer runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11. The Standard license covers one PC, includes all rename rules and free updates, and has no subscription. It costs 29.95 USD as a one-time payment. After purchase, the maker provides a download page and emails a download link and license key. Stripe secures card payments at checkout.
