What is batch photo renaming?

Batch photo renaming is the process of renaming many image files at once on Windows using a desktop tool. Three methods cover different needs: ① EXIF metadata (uses date taken, GPS location, and camera model embedded in each file), ② AI vision (reads what is visually shown in the image, or OCR text like watermarks and receipts), ③ batch rules (sequence numbers, custom prefix/suffix, find & replace). Renomee runs entirely on your device — no cloud upload — with 20 AI renames free per day and unlimited EXIF and rule renames.

AI Photo Rename: Auto-Name Images by Visual Content

AI analyzes each image's visual content and OCR reads any text visible in the image. Generates a meaningful filename from what it sees — no manual work. Great for product photos, screenshots, field inspection photos, and receipt scans.

Common Questions

How do I batch rename photos on Windows?
Use Renomee: ① Drop your image folder into the app → ② Pick a method — AI content recognition, EXIF metadata (date/GPS/camera), or batch rules (sequence, prefix, find & replace) → ③ Preview every new filename, then apply. Supports JPG, PNG, HEIC, RAW, WebP, and TIFF. No command line needed.
What is the difference between AI photo renaming and EXIF photo renaming?
EXIF renaming reads camera metadata embedded in the file — date taken, GPS location, and camera model. AI renaming reads the visual content of the image itself — identifying objects, colors, and scenes from pixels. Both can be combined: EXIF date as prefix + AI-described content as the filename body, all in one pass.
Can Renomee read text inside a photo, such as watermarks or receipts?
Yes — this is OCR mode. Renomee reads visible text in the image: watermarks on inspection photos (project name, date, inspector), merchant names and totals on receipt photos, and labels on document photos. OCR results can be combined with EXIF or AI in a single rename pass.
What image formats does Renomee support?
Renomee supports JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, TIFF, and RAW formats including ARW (Sony), CR2/CR3 (Canon), NEF (Nikon), and DNG. Both EXIF renaming and AI renaming work with RAW files.
Can I combine AI vision, OCR, and EXIF in one rename pass?
Yes. For example: EXIF date taken as prefix + AI-identified scene as the main filename body + OCR-extracted watermark project name as a suffix — all applied to the same batch in one operation. You do not need to run multiple passes.
Is Renomee free to use for photo renaming?
Renomee's free tier includes unlimited batch rule renaming (sequence numbers, prefix/suffix, find & replace), unlimited EXIF metadata renaming, and 20 AI vision renames per day. If you don't need AI, all rule and EXIF renaming is completely free with no limits. Paid plans remove the daily AI limit.
