Learn How To Rename Your Photos Quickly

How many times have you told yourself you’re going to finally go through the hundreds of digital photos you’ve taken and rename them in such a way they’re easy to go through? Thanks to PhotoRenamer, you no longer have to put up with incomprehensible filenames, and instead name your photos in such a way as to help you more easily recognise and organise them.

PhotoRenamer works by applying special user-defined masks to your filenames, making it easy to rename them with keywords, counters and even the date and time they were taken (if that information is recorded in the file’s EXIF metadata). And if you’re worried about making a mistake, PhotoRenamer provides a full preview of what your files will be called, plus offers options whereby your original files (and their names) can be preserved, just in case.

1 Get PhotoRenamer

Visit www.tgmdev.be and click the ‘PhotoRenamer 4.0b’ link under ‘Windows Utilities’ followed by ‘Download PhotoRenamer 4.0b’ from the Quick menu on the left. Leave the fields blank and click ‘Start Download…’ Save the setup file to your PC, then double-click it and follow the prompts to install PhotoRenamer. Once complete, leave the box ticked and click Finish.
