Content-aware batch renaming without regex

Your files already know what they are
Renomee turns that into clean filenames

PDF titles, photo metadata, audio tags — Renomee reads the details already embedded in your files.
Describe your naming rules in natural language, and Renomee automatically extracts file content and batch renames them.
Supports regular expressions, OCR recognition, and metadata extraction — but you don't need to learn any syntax.

What makes it different

Four Core Capabilities

Most rename tools can only rewrite text that's already there. Renomee can read the file, understand your instruction, and rename the whole batch.

01
AI Content Extraction

AI batch extracts file content
Auto-generates meaningful filenames

This is Renomee's core batch renaming capability: AI automatically opens each file and extracts key information. 500 PDF papers — AI reads titles and authors, then batch renames them; 1000 photos — OCR recognizes text in images, then batch names them. 100x smarter than traditional file renaming tools.

📄
PDF title extraction
Opens PDFs and extracts title and author information from the first page. Scanned PDFs automatically use OCR to recognize text. Supports files up to 50MB.
📷
Photo OCR recognition
Screenshots, scans, ID photos — AI directly recognizes text in images for naming. Also supports extracting EXIF data (date taken, camera model, GPS).
🎵
Audio tag reading
MP3/FLAC files have built-in ID3 tags storing artist, album, and track number. Renomee reads these tags and renames files in your preferred format.
📊
Office document parsing
Word extracts document title or first paragraph, Excel extracts sheet names. "Classify by sheet name" "Extract party name from contract" — all extract real content.
💬
AI replaces regular expressions
"Rename by date taken and add sequence" "Replace spaces with underscores" "Only process PDFs over 1MB" — AI deeply analyzes your batch rename needs and converts them to precise rules, no need to learn regex syntax
🎯
Complex rule generation
"Extract party name from first paragraph of contract" "Format music library as Artist - Song Title" — AI understands complex semantic requirements and executes them
🔍
Conditional filtering support
"Skip files before 2024" "Only rename JPG format" — flexibly combine multiple conditions to precisely control processing scope
🔄
Multi-turn optimization
Not satisfied with results? Just say "adjust it again". Extracted content is cached, so adjusting naming rules doesn't require rereading files
02
Natural Language Renaming

Replace regular expressions
Describe batch rename rules in plain English

Traditional batch rename tools require learning regular expression syntax. Renomee uses AI to replace regex. "Rename by date taken and add sequence" "Replace spaces with underscores" — describe it in English, AI understands and executes batch renaming. Supports both traditional regex syntax and natural language input.

03
Batch Rename Basics

Common batch renaming features
Prefix · Suffix · Number · Date

Basic features any batch rename tool has: add prefix/suffix, auto-numbering, insert date/time, case conversion — Renomee is more flexible with AI assistance. "Add today's date before the filename" "Sort by modified date and add sequence" — describe in natural language, batch process thousands of files at once.

📝
Batch add prefix/suffix
Uniformly add text to the beginning or end of filenames, like "ProjectA_" or "_backup", supports batch processing
🔢
Batch auto-numbering
Add sequence numbers in order, supports custom starting number, digits, and separator, maintains order during batch renaming
📅
Batch insert date/time
Batch add current date or file modified time, supports custom formats (YYYYMMDD, YYYY-MM-DD, etc.)
🔤
Batch case conversion
All uppercase, all lowercase, title case — one-click batch convert filename formats
📷
Photos: EXIF data
Use date taken, camera model, lens details, GPS, ISO, aperture, and shutter speed in the filename.
🎵
Audio: ID3 tags
Pull artist, album, track number, year, genre, duration, and bitrate from the file itself.
📄
Office: document properties
Use fields like title, author, subject, created date, and modified date from Word and Excel files.
🎬
Video: embedded metadata
Read resolution, duration, frame rate, codec, and created time to keep video archives organized.
04
Metadata Batch Rename

Extract EXIF / ID3 for batch rename
Rename using embedded file metadata

Photos, audio, and Office documents already carry rich metadata. Professional batch renaming software should be able to read this information directly — Renomee automatically extracts EXIF, ID3 tags, and document properties to batch rename thousands of files at once.

Built for Real Workflows

Different people get buried in different kinds of file chaos. Here are a few of the workflows Renomee is built for.

📚

Academic Researcher

A folder full of downloaded papers with meaningless filenames. You know the paper is in there somewhere, but you have to open half of them to find it.

Photographer

Thousands of client photos need to be sorted by shoot date and sequence. Doing it by hand takes too long and mistakes are easy to make.

Legal / Finance

Contracts and scanned invoices need to be filed by vendor and date, but opening them one by one just to identify them is painfully slow.

Music Enthusiast

Your music folder is full of track01.mp3 files, broken tags, and messy names. Even your player can't make sense of it.

Designer

Client project files pile up fast, and the filenames end up looking like final_v3_really_final.psd. Good luck figuring out which version is actually the latest.

Developer

Logs, exports, and generated files keep piling up. Adding dates and cleaning up names by hand is repetitive work nobody wants to do.
