Batch File Rename Free Edition for Windows

Overview

Efficient File Renaming Tool — Free Edition is a Windows utility for batch-renaming large numbers of files quickly and accurately. It provides a polished, easy-to-use interface with powerful editing features so you can automate repetitive filename changes without manual effort.

Core rename features

• Replace portions of filenames with new text.
• Convert letter casing (for example: UPPER, lower, Title Case).
• Remove or duplicate segments of a name.
• Edit rename rules using a built-in editor that highlights syntax for clarity.

Metadata and dynamic tokens

• Insert multimedia tags (ID3, EXIF, etc.) into new filenames.
• Use file attributes such as size, dates, and other properties as parts of the filename.
• Include computed values like file hashes when generating names.
• Combine multiple dynamic elements to create consistently formatted filenames.

Performance and operation modes

• Process thousands of items at once, leveraging multiple CPU cores for faster throughput.
• Run tasks on a schedule, so renaming can occur automatically at set times.
• Execute operations interactively or fully automatically depending on your workflow.

Selection, searching and filtering

• Select files based on name patterns, modification/creation dates, or file size.
• Use advanced search expressions, including Regular Expressions, to precisely target files.
• Preview matches before applying changes to avoid accidental renames.

Reporting and tracking

• Maintain comprehensive logs of each batch operation for auditing and rollback reference.
• Review summaries of changes and export logs if you need external records.

Alternative option

MacroMaker Free — a recommended alternative that also handles bulk renaming and automation tasks with its own set of features and workflow options.

If you want, I can convert a short list of the filenames you need changed into an example rule set or provide step-by-step instructions for a common renaming task.
