Never overwrites
A new name that already exists is a conflict, shown and skipped.
Bulk file renamer for Windows: features
Everything RenameFromFolders does, built around one idea: the folder structure already names your files.
Rename files using the parent folder name
Add the folder that holds each file, the folder above it, or any level up to five, as part of the new file name. Choose the top folder once and every file below it is handled.
- Parent folder
- Grandparent
- Up to 5 levels
- Root folder
Use only part of a folder name
Folder names often carry more than you need. Keep the text before or after a separator, trim spaces, or switch to upper or lower case, then see the result live.
Add dates, counters and your own text
Combine folder names with the created or modified date, a counter with a start number and digits (001, 002…), and any fixed text such as “ - ”. The file extension is always kept.
Preview every file before you rename
The preview lists each file’s before and after name with a status: ready, unchanged, conflict or invalid. Nothing changes until you confirm.
Results, logs and undo
After renaming, view details for every file, open the folder in File Explorer, save a log as text or CSV, or undo. History keeps a record so you can undo later.
Rename history with search and reuse
Search past renames, reuse a naming recipe on another folder, export a summary to CSV, or delete entries you no longer need.
Built to be safe
Recovers from interruptions
Every step is journaled, so an interrupted rename can be put back next time the app starts.
Cancel safely
Stop between folders without leaving a folder half-renamed.
Large folders
The preview was benchmarked with 300,000 files and shows only what is on screen.
Offline and private
No network access, accounts or tracking. History stays on your PC.
Windows 10 and 11
A native Windows app for 64-bit PCs, from the Microsoft Store.
Try the safer way to bulk rename files
Free to look at, safe to try: you see every change before anything is renamed, and you can undo it.
