How Renomee Works

Traditional tools rename by pattern.
Renomee reads the file first, then renames it.

You have 500 research papers, all named "downloaded_paper_v3_final.pdf".
Type: "Rename by PDF title and author". Renomee opens each file,
reads the real content, and generates accurate names — in seconds.

What Makes It Different

Your file manager can't read files. Renomee can.

Traditional tools can only reformat what's already in the filename. Renomee goes inside the file and pulls the real content.

01
Content Source

You say 'rename by title'
It opens the PDF and extracts the title

500 research papers in a folder, all with messy download names. You say 'rename by PDF title,' and Renomee opens each PDF, extracts the actual title, and generates 500 accurate filenames. Same logic for photo dates and audio artists.

📄
PDF → Extract title and author
Opens PDF, extracts title and author info from the first page to use in filenames. Auto-OCR for scanned PDFs. Supports files up to 50MB.
📷
Photos → Extract date taken
Not the file's modified date — the exact moment the camera shutter clicked (EXIF data). Also extracts camera model, lens parameters, GPS coordinates.
🎵
Audio → Extract artist and song name
MP3/FLAC files have embedded ID3 tags storing artist, album, track number. Renomee reads these tags and renames according to your format.
📊
Word / Excel → Extract doc content
Word extracts doc title or first paragraph. Excel extracts sheet names. 'Sort by sheet name' or 'extract party name from contract' — all pull actual content.
💬
Smart Intent Recognition
AI deeply analyzes your request and automatically determines which file content fields to extract
🎯
Conditional Filtering
'Only process PDFs > 1MB' or 'skip files before 2024' — flexible condition combinations
🔄
Multi-turn Optimization
Extracted content is cached, so re-adjusting naming rules doesn't require re-reading files
📝
Complex Rule Generation
'Extract party name from first paragraph of contract and place at front' — AI understands complex semantic needs
02
Natural Language

Describe what you want,
in plain English —

No regex, no scripts, no manual. Just explain what you need the way you'd tell a colleague — "rename by PDF title, put the author last" — and Renomee figures out which content to pull.

03
Batch Processing

1000 files in 5 seconds
No freezing. Every step has a status.

Most batch tools freeze with no progress bar — you don't know if it's working or crashed. Renomee shows per-file status in real time, processes in a queue, and lets you pause whenever you need.

Privacy Note: Your files never leave your computer — PDF text, Word content, photo EXIF, and audio tags are all read locally, right on your device. The only exception is scanned PDF or image OCR, which requires a server upload and triggers a separate permission dialog. You can choose not to enable it.
