A Better Finder Rename allows users to quickly rename multiple files. This powerful yet easy-to-use tool transforms the often tedious and time-consuming task of renaming multiple files into a simple matter of seconds.

Comprehensive coverage

A Better Finder Rename’s vast array of renaming options is organized into 15 intuitive categories that cover all the text, character, position, conversion, and truncation features you’d expect from a great file renamer.

On top of this, A Better Finder Rename provides more advanced features that answer the prayers of many professionals and hobbyists.

Digital photography

Digital photographers in particular will find the advanced sequence number and date and time functions a joy to behold.

A Better Finder Rename knows how to extract EXIF ​​shooting date and time information from your digital camera images and leverage it to create sequence numbers or add time and date information to the file name.

Support for all major RAW formats (including JPEG, HEIC, HEIF, ARW, CRW, CR2, THM, NEF, TIFF, RAF, ORF , MRW, DNG, PEF, SRF, etc.) extends this to professional photographers.

A Better Finder Rename also elegantly includes multiple photos taken in the same second and provides access to camera and lens metadata through the tag-based renaming feature.

Digital music

Music lovers will be delighted by our MP3/AAC naming feature which allows you to take advantage of the ID3 metadata embedded in most music files to create your own naming schemes for your music collection.

Metadata information from MP3, AAC, FLAC, OGG, APE, M4V and iTunes music store files are supported.

Instant preview and change of highlight

Our instant preview feature shows all changes as you type, making it easy to dial in the right settings and preventing you from making costly mistakes.

Version 11’s change highlighting feature takes this to the next level by visually highlighting individual changes.

Tag-based renaming

Today’s media files come with an abundance of additional information that cannot be discerned from the often meaningless filenames themselves.

A Better Finder Rename lets you leverage this metadata to create more meaningful file names using its tag-based renaming feature.

Our metadata tag engine can read a wide variety of photo, image, music, movie, camera, lens and location metadata, and you can combine this information to implement any naming scheme you can imagine.

Version 11 introduces a new optimized metadata tagging engine with much broader support for popular video and document formats (via Spotlight metadata).

Rename with several steps

We don’t believe in making simple things unnecessarily complicated. That’s why most users will find a single action that does exactly what they want.

However, sometimes a single action just isn’t enough, and that’s where our multi-step renaming features come in. It allows you to combine several simple actions to create a slim machine to rename.

Our intuitive multi-step interface, along with our instant preview, makes it easy to keep track of what’s happening.

Filter actions

Version 11 allows you to add multiple file filters to your action list, allowing different types of files to eventually rename differently within a single multi-step rename.

You can preview both the file names and the filter criteria directly in the preview table.

Presets Side panel

Presets allow you to save frequently used settings and organize them into your own renaming library.

The presets side panel allows you to create a new preset from your current settings with a single click. After giving it a name, you can restore these settings at any time with a mouse click.

The sidebar lets you rearrange the order of presets via drag and drop and import and export presets for sharing or archiving.

File content and metadata preview pane

A Better Finder Rename 11’s new preview pane lets you peek into your files and delve into the metadata, making working with metadata tags much easier and giving you extra confidence in your settings.

Automation via Droplets & Presets

Version 11 of A Better Finder Rename offers two mechanisms to automatically apply frequently used rename settings to files by dragging and dropping.

If you have previously saved your settings in a preset, you can rename files by dragging them to the closed application icon. A pop-up dialog allows you to select the preset to use.

Alternatively, you can save the settings in droplet mini-applications and perform a rename by dragging the files directly to the droplet’s icon.

Super users

System administrators, webmasters and other advanced users will appreciate the presence of advanced features such as support for regular expressions, conversion to Windows NTFS/SMB compatible names, the ability to import filenames from a database, spreadsheet or other source that can create plain or tab-delimited text files. Finally, it allows you to save a list of current and new file names to make it easier to track your files.

Beautiful inside and out

A Better Finder Rename takes file renaming to a new level of sophistication by introducing an advanced 64-bit multi-threaded renaming engine that solves many problems that other file renamers simply leave unaddressed.

The database-backed change engine automatically resolves filename conflicts (when multiple files share the same name) using a number of configurable parameters. The order in which files are renamed has been optimized to avoid deadlocks that can occur when the order in which files are renamed becomes significant.
