Bulk File Renamer for Windows

We’ve covered numerous file renaming utilities here on the site, and many of them have their own strengths and weaknesses. What I’ve found with a lot of them is that most tend to be difficult to use, but I found one called Rename Master that is both easy and powerful.

Rename Master provides a simplistic interface for doing things like replacing/adding/removing text in filenames/folders as well as many other common operations. If you jump over to the “Case & Wildcards” tab there is also an option you can enable for full regular expression support in any of the find/replace operations. That’s something I know a lot of power users want in an app like this.

Here’s a look at some of the things Rename Master has to offer:

• Intelligent number sorting
• File and folder renaming
• Custom filelist columns
• Auto-Preview
• Subfolder Scanning to rename files in multiple folder
• Renaming Variables for JPEG/MP3 tags, file properties, counters, and more
• “Scripts” to save commonly used renaming options
• [*] and [?] command prompt style wildcards, or full Regular Expression support
• Optional Explorer integration for right-clicking on files/folders or using “Send To” 
• Case Changing and Textfile importing

This program has been getting developed for over 7-years so it should come as no surprise that this is as good as it is. The download comes with both portable and installable versions depending on which you prefer.
