Easy File Rename

Granted, Windows provides you with at least three methods of easily renaming files on your computer, namely via Explorer, Command Prompt and PowerShell. Without denying their efficiency, sometimes neither of the options is enough for batch renaming hundreds of files at the same time.
Easy File Rename is a piece of software that allows you to rename files and directories on your local drives using a template with your own user-defined rules.

Simple setup, but it does not include a UI per se

First off, you should know that the application does not come with a standalone interface, but rather you can access it from Windows Explorer's context menu. Therefore, you can change a file's name by selecting them the standard way from Explorer, setting the parameters and then hitting the Rename button.
The lack of an interface could make batch renaming files slightly more difficult, especially if you intend to want to apply modifications to files stored in different directories. It would have been nice if the app allowed you to add the data in a dedicated area where you can preview them before renaming them.

Enables you to set your renaming rules

In spite of the fact that it does not include a UI, you can set your parameters for renaming files from the Dialog box. To put it simply, you can sort files based on names, order and specify when the enumeration starts.
The highlight of the tool stems from the fact that you can create a rename template that includes the parameters that make it simpler for you to find the desired photos or documents. The model can include one or multiple values such as prefix, postfix, extension, enumerator, filename, etc.
Moreover, you can replace words or phrases in the name seamlessly and specify whether you want to alter the file name registry. Lastly, the program allows you to preview how the new filename appears, a feature that can help you figure out whether you added too little or too many parameters.

A simple app for renaming files and folders on your PC

Although it does not include a standalone interface, Easy File Rename can come in handy when you need to rename files in a way that makes them readily accessible and searchable.
