A Fast and Private Way to Batch Rename Real Estate Listing Photos
Real estate agents deal with hundreds of photos per listing:
- Exterior shots
- Living rooms and kitchens
- Bedrooms and bathrooms
- Floor plans
- Amenities and details
- Before and after staging photos
- Inspection or walkthrough images
But cameras and phones save everything like:

š What is AI Renamer?
Why Real Estate Photos Get Messy So Fast
Real estate photos come from many sources:
- Phone cameras
- DSLR camera dumps
- Drone photos
- Photographers and contractors
- Virtual staging tools
- Screenshots from walkthrough videos
- Team members sending files by email or WhatsApp
Each source uses a different naming system. None of them are designed for real estate workflows.
This leads to problems like:
- Multiple listings mixed together
- Duplicate filenames with numbers added
- Hard to find specific rooms later
- Confusing folders when uploading to MLS or portals
- Extra time spent renaming before every upload
A dedicated AI-powered photo renamer fixes this by generating filenames based on what is actually visible in the photo, not the camera or device that created it.

With AI Renamer, real estate agents can:
