What is Bulk Rename Utility?
Bulk Rename Utility applies naming rules to groups of files and folders. It can replace text, change letter case, add sequential numbers or dates, and build names from photo EXIF metadata or MP3 ID3 tags. Preview the proposed names before applying a batch, save frequently used rules as favorites, or use regular expressions for more specific matches. Subfolder processing helps apply a naming scheme across a folder tree.
The linked EXE installer includes both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The publisher lists Windows 11, 10, 8 and 7, plus Windows Server 2008 through 2025; it also lists Windows on ARM compatibility, without identifying this package as native ARM64. Free use is limited to personal, private use at home. Business, commercial and government use requires a per-computer commercial license, and features such as JavaScript renaming require a paid license even for home use.
