Quickly & Easily Rename Multiple Images

You just transferred some photos from your smartphone to the computer and you have all these file names like this IMG_20220617_11213580.jpg. Good grief!!
You can quickly rename all those files at once.
Note: This video is for Windows users. I am demonstrating in Windows 11, but this method works in all Windows versions.

[@FahadKhan-tg9wk]

how to remove those brackets in the name?

[@Forevermoretraining]

I don't think you can. Not with the method in the video.

[@user-gg7ft4is9p]

This was fantastic. I never knew this was possible!

[@Forevermoretraining]

Pretty cool feature.

[@Linkopoop]

Small tricks like this save so much time and I would never figure this out on my own, thank you!

[@Forevermoretraining]

Right - It's the little things!

[@Trusteft]

I found about this a couple of years ago. I was disappointed as I use Windows since 3.0.
I am sure this video will help people.

[@guardarguardado]

does not work for me, it either does nothing or lower the volume

[@Forevermoretraining]

Hard to say why it might not have work - many variables here.

[@barreraassociatesllc8393]

Hello. Thanks for sharing, althdough when I do that my photos are renamed it rename two photos with the same number.

[@Forevermoretraining]

Interesting. I think so many of these tips depend on what system we are using. What works one way for me may not work the same for others.

[@84arunkumar]

Relieved me, saving a bunch of images in order! Thanks a ton..

[@Forevermoretraining]

You are welcome a ton!

[@emirsobrado1642]

hi...how about you need to rename multiple images and the file name is written in the image? example multiple scanned receipts which you need to follow the receipts numbers as file name.

[@Forevermoretraining]

Sounds like you need some sort of OCR scanner. There are image to text apps out there.

[@brainstonschool]

Awesome. I never imagined it could be possible. Thanks.

[@Forevermoretraining]

Glad to help

[@murattosun1]

Amazing way of batch rename... many thanks for your explanation

[@Forevermoretraining]

Most welcome 😊

[@gospellighthouse1557]

That works but to a point. I did all that you suggested, but then what happened was that there's 116 pictures in my folder, and when it got to the 26th picture, it started adding the number in parenthesis starting with (1) again?????
It went like this. Christmas (1) and then labeled the rest to number 26 but then started over again like this, Christmas (24), Christmas (25), Christmas (26), Christmas (1), Christmas (2)

[@Forevermoretraining]

Not sure what happened. There are limitations with using file explorer. Other ways to do this would be to use PowerToys or a third-party utility.

[@JohnnySantiago]

What is power toys?@@Forevermoretraining

[@Forevermoretraining]

A third-party app you can download that gives you additional features.

[@jacksquatt6082]

Thank you for the video. Is there a way to rename batches of files while keeping the original sorting order? I wish to rename a bundle of pics, but I want to keep them in the same order they are now, to show the progress of the subject in the pics.

[@Forevermoretraining]

There are some options you can explore.
You can use a third-party app.
You can download Windows PowerToys, which has a power rename tool.
If you're comfortable with scripting, you can write a script (Python or PowerShell) to access and rename files in a specific order. This gives you more control over the renaming process and allows for complex renaming patterns.

[@gringoranchero1]

Thank you so much! This saved me so much time!

[@Forevermoretraining]

Glad it helped! And thanks for watching.

[@b.d9703]

know you can't reverse that she show you, and the one you select to rename will become the number 1 of the new list and you will lost the exact order

[@Forevermoretraining]

True. You would lose the date and time order.
