Your files never leave your device. All processing happens in your browser.
To bulk rename images: Open the Img Stop Bulk Rename tool, add your images, type a pattern such as image-{n} or {date}-{n}, choose the order and start number, and click Rename all. The new names are shown under each file, and you download all renamed images as a ZIP – the images themselves are not changed.
About the Bulk Rename Images
The Img Stop Bulk Rename tool gives a whole batch of image files clean, consistent names. Use numbers (image-001, image-002…), the photo date, the original name, the folder name or any text you like.
You see every new name before you start, can sort files by name, date or size, and choose the start number and number of digits. Files are only renamed – they are not re-compressed, so quality and size stay exactly the same.
