Summary

RenameKit is a visual batch file renamer for people managing creator projects, development files, or large media libraries. It displays current and proposed filenames together before a batch runs and flags conflicts in advance. Users can combine more than 40 rules for text changes, numbering, regular expressions, metadata, and extensions without scripts. It works with any file type; metadata rules cover JPEG and TIFF EXIF, MP3 and FLAC tags, and MP4 and MOV video metadata. RenameKit operates locally and says files remain on the user’s computer. A full batch can be undone, even after restarting the app. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, with installers for Windows x64, both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, Linux AppImage, and Debian/Ubuntu. The free plan includes a three-day full-feature trial, after which batches are limited to 20 items. The Lifetime License is 9.99 USD as a one-time payment and includes presets and a CLI tool.
