Having to rename a bunch of files manually every time can be labor-intensive. With NameChanger for Mac, users can now rename their files quickly and easily in just a snap. While not too complicated for inexperienced users, this app will keep advanced users more than satisfied with the level of customization offered.

NameChanger offers several helpful features to make renaming files straightforward:

  • Real-time Preview: You can see how the names will change as you type, which helps prevent mistakes.
  • Multiple Renaming Options: You can replace text in various ways, add numbers to file names, or even change the format of text using simple commands.
  • Drag and Drop: Just drag your files into the application to add them quickly.

This app is perfect for anyone who needs a quick and easy way to change file names.

Using NameChanger is very straightforward. You add files by either using the graphical interface or by dragging them into the application. You then choose how you want to rename your files. Options include replacing parts of file names, appending or prepending text, or using sequences and dates. You can see these changes in the "Renamed Filename" column as you type, which helps ensure everything looks right before you commit to the changes. Once you're ready, just hit the "Rename" button

To install NameChanger for Mac you just have to drop the app into the Applications folder. Upon startup this application will greet you with a clean, tidy, and easy-to-navigate user interface. While the app has only one, pretty basic function, it is very useful. It replaces the original text of the file or folder with a new custom text. This is perfect for users who need to organize a bunch of files on their Mac. For example, a batch of photos, including DSC390003, DSC390004, and DSC390005 could be renamed London 03, London 04, and London 05. The app will show you a sample of the new file name in real time, which is very convenient. It also allows you to edit the date of the file created. However, there is no "undo" function, which would have been a welcome option.

Bottom Line

Although all Macs come pre-installed with Automator, which basically performs the same function, there's just no comparison with NameChanger for Mac in terms of ease of use. Users who frequently need to rename files in bulk will find this app very useful.
