AI File Renamer - Automatically Rename PDFs, Images, and Documents with AI

Batch Rename Files Instantly with AI-Powered Naming, Offline Mode, and Custom Instructions

If you handle hundreds of files every week like photos, PDFs, project folders, research documents or client materials, you know how much time disappears into one annoying task:

renaming files.

“IMG_2024_3355.JPG”

“scan_2025_01.pdf”

“final_final_v9.png”

Multiply that by hundreds of files, and suddenly you’ve lost an entire afternoon.

👉 Let AI rename your files for you.

Automatically. In seconds. With clean, descriptive, human-readable names.

Whether you work with photos, documents, design assets, lecture materials, contracts, or client files, AI Renamer helps you stay organized without the manual work.

Why File Renaming Takes So Much Time

Most people rename files because they need: Why File Renaming Takes So Much Time

  • clean folders
  • searchable archives
  • consistent naming patterns
  • easier sharing with teammates or clients
  • faster workflow across tools like Notion, Obsidian, Lightroom, Figma, or cloud drives

But doing it manually slows down:

  • photographers importing thousands of RAW/edited images
  • academics sorting research papers, lecture notes, and scanned readings
  • accountants & lawyers managing contracts, invoices, PDFs, and client documents
  • designers exporting dozens of UI iterations, screens, assets, and mockups

AI Renamer handles all of this instantly.

How Different Professionals Use AI Renamer

1. Photographers & Visual Archivists

Image Renaming Tool For Photographer Photographers deal with thousands of images named:

  • IMG_3345.JPG
  • DSC_0091.JPG
  • RAW_2024_12.CR3

AI Renamer automatically converts them into descriptive names like:

  • Wedding_Ceremony_001.jpg
  • Portrait_Session_Studio_Blue_15.jpg
  • StreetPhotography_Berlin_2025_003.jpg

This means cleaner Lightroom catalogs, easier client delivery, and better long-term archiving.

2. Academics & Students

PDF Renaming Tool For Students If your desktop is full of:

  • “Reading 7.pdf”
  • “scan_2024_02.pdf”
  • “Article_New.pdf”

AI Renamer transforms them into names like:

  • Smith_2021_Digital_Archives.pdf
  • Lecture_12_Risk_Management.pdf
  • Research_Notes_Data_Privacy.pdf

Perfect for thesis projects, research folders, Zotero libraries, and long-term digital archiving.

3. Accountants & Lawyers

Invoice and Contracts Renaming For Accountants Professionals handling PDFs every day often rename:

  • invoices
  • bank statements
  • contracts
  • NDAs
  • engagement letters
  • client documents
  • PBC lists

AI Renamer automatically identifies the content and creates consistent, client-ready names like:

  • Client_ABC_Invoice_2025_01.pdf
  • BankStatement_Jan2025_Checking.pdf
  • Contract_SaaS_Agreement_Signed.pdf
  • NDA_Company_XYZ_Executed.pdf

Huge time-saver especially during busy seasons and audits.

4. Web & UI Designers

UI Assets Kits Renaming For Web Designers Web and UI designers often export hundreds of small assets:

  • icons
  • buttons
  • UI states
  • components
  • layout screenshots
  • assets for dev handoff

These files usually look like:

  • Artboard 22.png
  • export_11.png
  • final_final_v3.png
  • frame_001.png

AI Renamer identifies what’s visible inside the asset — icon shapes, text on buttons, symbols, UI elements — and generates clean, descriptive file names such as:

  • home_icon.png
  • shopping_cart_icon.png
  • profile_avatar_icon.png
  • notification_bell_icon.png
  • cta_button_primary.png
  • tabbar_messages_selected.png

This makes it easier for designers to:

  • deliver organized assets to developers
  • keep Figma/Sketch/XD exports tidy
  • improve asset searchability
  • maintain consistent naming across design systems
