What Bulk Renamer is

Bulk Renamer is a free, open-source desktop app for batch-renaming files in a selected folder. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and displays a live preview of each proposed filename before applying changes. Rename patterns can combine find and replace, prefixes or suffixes, sequential numbering, case conversion, and extension changes. Find and replace accepts plain text or regular expressions. The app loads files in the chosen folder but does not include subfolders. Before proceeding, it checks for duplicate destination names and names that already exist on disk; a conflict stops the batch. Undo reverses only the most recent successful batch, and that history is held in memory, so it disappears when the app closes. The app uses the MIT license and requires no account. Its maker notes that unsigned apps may show standard Gatekeeper or SmartScreen warnings on first launch until code signing is set up. Infinite Creation describes its free tools as serving people who create, validate, publish, and teach media.

Good

  • Live preview shows proposed names before changes.
  • Rename patterns support numbering and case conversion.
  • Find and replace accepts regular expressions.
  • Duplicate or existing-name conflicts block the batch.
  • Free and open-source under the MIT license.

Watch out

  • Files in subfolders are not included.
  • Undo covers only the most recent successful batch.
  • Undo history disappears when the app closes.
  • Unsigned launches may show Gatekeeper or SmartScreen warnings.

Who it suits

Bulk Renamer suits people who need to change names for files in a single folder on Linux, macOS, or Windows. Its pattern options also accommodate regular-expression find and replace.

Verdict

Bulk Renamer provides previewed, configurable batch changes with checks against filename conflicts. Keep its single-folder scope and in-memory, one-batch undo limit in mind.
