What ExifRenamer is

ExifRenamer is a free macOS app that renames photos, movie clips, and audio clips using embedded date and time information. Its suggested YYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm-ss naming format helps files sort chronologically by name in Finder. Users can drop photos onto the app icon or set it as an automatic task in Apple Image Capture. A preview and controls for naming styles, prefixes, suffixes, time correction, and sequence counters let users adjust filenames. The app can create a destination folder, move renamed files there, and forward files to other applications. Listed formats include JPEG, TIFF, MOV, MP4, M4V, AVI, AIFF, AIF, WAV, MRW, NEF, CRW, CR2, and THM. The maker lists camera support including Casio, Olympus, and Canon, but some cameras may not include the required date and time information in a supported format. ExifRenamer changes filenames rather than file contents. The listed version is 2.4.0 (15), and the maker says current versions are fully compatible with macOS Sequoia. Donations are optional.
