Batch File Rename & Restore

Batch File Rename & Restore enables you to seamlessly rename files in batch mode by specifying a suffix, prefix, and starting number. It can also change file extensions. This is an approachable software tool that can be quickly figured out.

Rename files and extensions in bulk

The installation procedure is a speedy task that shouldn't impose any difficulties. As far as the interface is concerned, the program adopts a user-friendly window with an integrated file explorer, thus giving you the possibility to easily locate the files you want to rename, as well as to view their original name, format, size, and date of last modification.
It's possible to insert a custom prefix, suffix, or both, indicate a starting number, as well as to convert all file extensions to one format. Modifications can be applied to all files from the directory, or just the selected ones.

Evaluation results and observations

The utility carried out file renaming jobs swiftly in our tests, during which it remained light on system resources consumption. We haven't come across any stability issues, since it didn't hang, crash or prompt error dialogs.
If there is no starting number specified, the application uses a random one. It remembers the original files names until exit, which means that, if you're not satisfied with the new file names, you can change them into something else while keeping in mind that the modifications are made to the original file names, not the previous ones.
Results are immediately reflected in the main window. This is similar to file renamers that support a preview mode, especially when adding the fact that Batch File Rename & Restore also has a restore option for reverting file changes to default, until exit (unavailable to unregistered users).

Conclusion

Although it doesn't feature more advanced name customization options, Batch File Rename & Restore proves to be a fast and reliable tool for batch renaming files and extensions.
