Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Excellent features and tiny size make Batch File Renamer one of the best file renamers around. You can rename entire directories of files, or filter out the ones you don't want to change by their extension. A handful of presets let you convert filename cases instantly, as well as replace characters in the filenames, add a number sequence to the name, and for advanced users you can even run your own command line on source files.
The program runs from a self-contained EXE that takes up a whopping 48KB on your hard drive. Double-click to get going, and you'll find yourself presented with an uninspired but still utterly utilitarian layout.
The top half of the program is for selecting the source directory and the file type including DOC, TXT, OCX, JPG, HTM, and more. Directory navigation is accessible from the menubar, but it feels archaic and it's probably easier to copy and paste. The bottom half of the program is where users can choose what changes they want enacted on their filenames. Presets include case changing, changing the specific filenames to generic naming conventions followed by numbers, and character replacement.
You can also change extensions en masse, although it's not straightforward. There's no doubt that a modernized interface would be nice, as would a Help file, but Batch File Renamer is light on its feet and does exactly what you need it to.

Version: Batch File Renamer 1.02
"fast but too simple to be versatile"
Pros: does what it says and do it fast
Cons: Interface is very plain. It doesn' t offer a lot of options like replacing and deleting certain parts of a name, which FileRenamer does.
The biggest downside is it renames all files in the directory selected. There is no option to check off any file within the directory you don't want to rename.

Version: Batch File Renamer 1.02
"simple, but only if it works"
Pros: the interface seems fairly straightforward.
Cons: filtered files to isolate .jpg files successfully. Then attempted "Replace Only" to rename files from .jpg to _xtn.jpg. Clicking "Preview" showed correct results, but after clicking "Start Renaming" nothing happened.
