📛 ZRename - Rename Hundreds of Files in Seconds
---
🎯 What Is ZRename?
ZRename is a free desktop app that helps you rename many files at once. Instead of clicking each file and typing a new name, you set up simple rules—like "add numbers" or "change to lowercase"—and ZRename does the rest. It works on both Windows and Linux, and it's completely free with no hidden tracking.
Think of it like a spell-checker for filenames. You see exactly what the new names will look like before you commit. If something looks wrong, you just fix the rule and try again. No more renaming 200 photos one by one.

✨ Key Features
🧩 Stack Rules Like Building Blocks
You can combine multiple rules in any order. For example:
- Add a date to the front
- Replace spaces with dashes
- Convert everything to lowercase
- Add a sequence number at the end
Each rule is a simple option you pick from a list. No coding needed.
🔍 Live Before/After Preview
As you type or adjust rules, ZRename shows a real-time table. The left column shows the current filename, and the right column shows what it will become. If two files would end up with the same name, ZRename highlights them in red so you can fix the conflict before anything happens.
🔄 Smart Metadata Support
ZRename can read information hidden inside your files:
- Photos: Date taken, camera model, location (EXIF)
- Music: Artist, album, track number (ID3)
- Videos: Creation date, resolution
You can use this info in your new filenames. For example, rename all your vacation photos to 2024-07-15Beach001.jpg.
