Tools / File renamer

Batch file renamer

Rename a whole batch from the metadata you already generated. Build a name pattern from tokens, check every old name against its new name in the preview, clear any collisions, then download the renamed files as a ZIP together with a CSV whose Filename column matches — so the upload never breaks. Files are read in this browser tab only.

1. Bring in the metadata

Upload the CSV you exported from the Metadata & CSV generator, or pull the batch this browser already has saved from that tool.

Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, Freepik, 123RF, Vecteezy, Dreamstime and the universal export are all recognised by their header row.

2. Add the files

Drop images, vectors or clips here. Up to 2,000 files, matched to the metadata by filename, and never uploaded anywhere.

Rename pattern

Tokens are replaced per file. The original extension is kept automatically.

Presets

Letter case

Marketplace-safe characters

Strip accents, spaces and punctuation so every ingest pipeline accepts the name.

Any single row can still be edited by hand in the preview table — a typed name always wins over the pattern.

Add a CSV or your saved generator batch, then drop the files in. The old-to-new preview appears here before anything is written.

Why filenames and CSV rows must match

Every marketplace joins your CSV to your files by filename. Rename the files without rewriting the CSV and the whole batch imports with no metadata; rewrite the CSV without renaming the files and the rows are rejected as unknown. That is why this tool always offers both downloads from the same preview.

How the renaming is done

Tokens are expanded per row, accents and punctuation are stripped for marketplace-safe names, names are trimmed on a word break rather than mid-word, and duplicates are detected case-insensitively because Windows and macOS treat two names differing only in case as one file.

Original files are not stored by Metadata World. To generate metadata, compressed previews or video keyframes are securely sent to the AI provider you choose.
