In our day-to-day work, the ability to perform an action on many files or folders at once<\/strong> can really boost your productivity. For instance, editing multiple images together<\/a> is a good example. Similarly, there are tools to help you rename multiple files at the same time.<\/p>\n

Yes, such apps exist, and in this post, I\u2019m going to show you the best free desktop tools for bulk renaming files in Windows<\/strong>. Let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n

Throughout this post, I\u2019ll demonstrate renaming files in the folder named \u201cFiles to rename<\/em>\u201d on my desktop. This folder contains files named \u201cNew Microsoft Word Document \u2013 Copy(N).doc<\/em>x\u201d, and I\u2019ll rename them to \u201cV(N).docx<\/em>\u201c, where N<\/em> is a number and V<\/em> can be any name.<\/p>\n

Advanced Renamer<\/a><\/h2>\n

If you need more options to rename files and folders compared to File Renamer Basic, Advanced Renamer is a great choice. It\u2019s particularly useful for renaming images, and audio and video files. Plus, it offers over 10 ways to rename, which lets you batch rename a large number<\/strong> of files or folders.<\/p>\n

The files will be renamed sequentially. For instance, if you name them \u201cWD\u201d, the new file names will be \u201cWD (1)\u201d, \u201cWD (2)\u201d, and so forth.<\/p>\n
