Frequently asked questions.
How do I rename multiple files at once with a pattern?
Drop your files into the tool, then set a pattern: add a prefix or suffix, turn on sequential numbering, or use find and replace. A live preview shows each new name as you type. When it looks right, click rename and download the results as a ZIP.
Is it safe to bulk rename files here without uploading them?
Yes. Every file stays on your device. The tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript, so nothing is sent to a server. There is no signup and no account needed. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the renaming still works.
Can I add sequential numbers to a batch of file names?
Yes. Enable sequential numbering, then choose a start number and how many digits to pad to, like 001, 002, 003. Combine it with a prefix such as a date or product name. The live preview updates instantly so you can confirm the format before applying it.
Does the tool change my original files on disk?
No. Your original files are never modified. The tool reads each file, builds the new names you defined, and gives you fresh copies to download as a ZIP. It also warns you if two files would end up with the same name, so nothing gets accidentally overwritten.
