Live two-column preview
Current name on the left, new name on the right — updating in real time as you build rules. Conflicts are flagged before anything is renamed.
BatchDrop Rename · Windows desktop app
Rename hundreds of files with a live preview.
BatchDrop Rename fixes messy filenames in bulk using visual rules — find and replace, sequential numbering, prefixes, dates, and case changes. See every new name before you apply, with conflicts highlighted in red.
Stackable rules
Chain find/replace, numbering, prefix/suffix, date insertion, case changes, character removal, and extension changes. Each rule transforms the output of the previous one.
Safe by design
One-level undo reverses the entire rename within 60 seconds. Save and reload rule presets for recurring jobs.
From IMG_4532 to a clean naming scheme.
Add files, build your rules, preview the results, then apply. No command line, no scripting.
Add files to the queue
Drop any file type — photos, PDFs, documents, project assets. The renamer works on filenames, not file contents.
Build rename rules

Preview and apply
