How to Automatically Rename AI-Generated Images Using AI

A Fast and Private Way to Batch Rename AI-Generated Images

If you generate images with AI regularly using tools like Midjourney, Leonardo, Seedream, Nano Banana, or Stable Diffusion you probably have folders full of files like:

• image_0.png
• 000123.webp
• final.png
• seedream_output_42.png
• mj_2025_03_14_182233.png
• ChatGPT Image Jan 10, 2026, 08_58_57 PM.jpg
• _a8f606bf-2a4f-49ca-ba40-9f57d3efd12a_2.jpeg

AI image generators are great at creating visuals, but terrible at naming files.

If you experiment with prompts, styles, or variations, things get messy fast. Manually renaming images kills momentum and makes it harder to reuse or compare results later.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to automatically rename AI-generated images using AI so your folders stay clean, searchable, and easy to work with without manual effort.

👉 What is AI Renamer?

Why AI-Generated Images Get Messy So Fast

AI image workflows create chaos by default.

Images usually come from many sources:

• Midjourney downloads
• Leonardo AI exports
• Seedream batches
• Nano Banana generations
• Stable Diffusion local outputs (local UIs like ComfyUI)
• Prompt experiments and variations
• Style or model comparisons

Each tool saves files differently, and none of them optimize filenames for humans.

This leads to problems like:

• Hundreds of images with no meaningful names
• No easy way to find a specific idea or variation
• Lost context when revisiting older generations
• Datasets that are impossible to search or reuse
• Duplicate images that all look similar in file explorers

An AI-powered image renamer fixes this by generating filenames based on what’s actually visible in the image, not the tool that produced it.

How AI Renamer Helps AI Image Workflows

AI Renamer analyzes the visual content of AI-generated images and suggests descriptive filenames automatically.

With AI Renamer, you can:

• Batch rename hundreds of AI-generated images at once
• Rename images based on visual content, not prompts or metadata
• Keep everything private using Local Mode
• Apply consistent naming rules with Custom Instructions
• Preview every filename before applying it

It doesn’t matter whether the image came from Midjourney, Leonardo, Seedream, Nano Banana, or Stable Diffusion, AI Renamer works on the files themselves.

Supported Image Formats

AI Renamer supports all common AI image outputs:

• JPG / JPEG
• PNG
• WEBP
• GIF
• BMP
• TIFF

This makes it ideal for:

• AI art experiments
• Prompt testing and iteration
• Concept art and mood boards
• Wallpaper generation
• Dataset building
• Style exploration and comparisons

If something looks off, you can:

• Click Regenerate
• Adjust your Custom Instructions
• Review everything before applying changes

5. Rename Everything in One Click

Click Rename All.

Your AI image folders instantly become:

• searchable
• reusable
• easier to compare
• easier to archive
• ready for datasets or sharing

The Best Naming Conventions for AI-Generated Images

There’s no single perfect naming system, but the best ones follow three rules:

1. Describe what’s visible, not the prompt
2. Keep filenames short and neutral
3. Stay consistent across batches

Naming Patterns That Work Well

• subject-style-context
• object-environment-mood
• scene-theme-time
• category-main-feature-color

Examples:

• robot-portrait-studio-lighting.png
• fantasy-landscape-mountains-sunset.webp
• abstract-geometric-colorful-pattern.png
• space-nebula-purple-stars.png

Using Custom Instructions for AI Image Naming

Custom Instructions let you control how AI Renamer names your images.

Example Custom Instruction (Safe and Reliable)

Paste this:

Describe the image using short, clear words. Focus only on what is visually obvious. Keep filenames concise.

This avoids hallucinated details and keeps filenames accurate.
