Advanced Renamer is a program for renaming multiple files and folders at once. By configuring renaming methods the names can be manipulated in various ways.

It is easy to set up a batch rename using multiple methods on a large amount of files. The 13 different methods enables you to change the names, and timestamps of files in one go. The files can also be copied or moved to new locations based on information in the files.

With Advanced Renamer you can construct new file names by adding, removing, replacing, changing case, or giving the file a brand new name based on known information about the file.

Before performing the operations on the files you can verify that the output will be correct and if you perform the rename and regret it, you can undo the complete batch.
Image Files
This mass file renamer is an excellent tool for organizing digital photos, whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting out. It offers the ability to extract metadata from your image files, such as date, time, dimensions, and camera model, and use this information to generate new, meaningful file names. With Advanced Renamer, you can effortlessly rename large collections of photos in just a few clicks.

GPS Data
If your image or video files include embedded GPS information, you can take advantage of this feature to further customize your file names. The program allows you to automatically insert the name of the city, country, and state where the picture was taken. This is made possible by utilizing geographic coordinates, which are matched against a database of over 100,000 cities around the world.

Music Files
Music files often suffer from disorganized names or strange characters that make them difficult to manage. With Advanced Renamer, you can streamline this process by renaming your favorite music tracks with more appropriate and user-friendly names. Thanks to the built-in metadata support, you can retrieve essential track details such as artist, album, and genre, allowing you to create clear, structured file names that better reflect the content of each file.

Video Files
With Advanced Renamer, you can easily enhance your video file names by including details like the video codec, resolution, frame rate, or audio bitrate. This makes it simple to organize and identify your videos at a glance. With the ability to add these technical specifications directly into the file names, keeping track of your video content becomes much more efficient and straightforward.
