CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Although its name defines its limits and usefulness, this freeware does what it does very well. Extension Renamer's comprehensible functions will suit any user even without a help file, although file-filtering instructions are available within the interface. In our tests the program quickly changed any file extension from within a selected folder to any new extension of our choice. With this freeware, you can easily control access to your personal files by renaming them to unknown file types. Since this application only changes file extensions and doesn't convert the actual file, its value is limited. Nonetheless, any user will still find the no-cost Extension Renamer worth keeping.Publisher's description
From Compact :This application is intended for the purpose of batch renaming of file extensions. This can be achieved with any file extension and can be changed from anything to anything. Its primary function was for renaming the files that Imscan produces into TIFF files. Note that it is not a file converter. It will not change the contents of a file; merely rename the extension, so only files' types that will accept extension changes can be manipulated.

Version: Extension Renamer 1.0
Pros: Installs well.
Cons: Doesn't seem to batch convert. I have a folder full of CHK files and it errors when I try to convert...

Version: Extension Renamer 1.0
"Does not work. Errors when trying to use it."
Pros: there are no pros, only promises
Cons: It is not operational. It says "cannot create files because the files already exist," and does not convert anything.
-
Version: Extension Renamer 1.0
"Does exactly what it says -- changes file extensions"
Pros: Straightforward interface
Cons: doesn't let you input a path with a text box, you have to navigate with the UI to the path each time
Summary: Does exactly what you'd expect -- renames the extensions of a group of files. I do wish it let you input a folder path with a text box, it's tedious to have to navigate thru the folder UI each time to the correct folder.

-
Version: Extension Renamer 1.0
"Worked fine. Does exactly what it says. Renames."
Pros: Converted most files quickly.
Cons: Missed a few files which I had to do manually.
Summary: Clear, simple program. Probably never need again but good for what it's intended for....renaming NOT converting.
