Does AI Renamer work with RAW files?

Not yet. RAW formats like CR2, NEF, ARW and DNG are not supported, and neither is HEIC. Rename the JPG or TIFF exports you deliver, which is usually where the names matter most.

Can it put the date the photo was taken in the name?

Yes, in local mode. With a local model the EXIF data, including the date taken, goes to the model, so you can ask for it in your custom instructions. Cloud mode only sees the picture and the original filename.

Can I rename a whole shoot at once?

Drop the shoot folder on the window and every supported image in it, including subfolders, is added to the list. Each photo gets its own suggestion, and Rename All renames them together when you are happy.

Are my photos stored on your servers?

No. In cloud mode each photo is processed privately and deleted right after the name comes back, with a limit of 10 MB per image. In local mode with Ollama or LM Studio it never leaves your computer.

How does AI Renamer work?

It reads each file you give it. Images go to a vision model that looks at the picture, PDFs and text files are read for what they say, and the AI writes a short, clear name for each one. You check the list and press Rename All.

What file types are supported?

Images (JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, WEBP), PDFs (scanned ones too, they are read as images) and about 80 kinds of text and code files, like TXT, MD, CSV, JSON, HTML, JS and PY. HEIC, RAW, Word and Excel files are not supported yet.

Can I preview the suggested names before applying them?

Yes. Every new name shows in a list first and nothing is renamed on disk until you press Rename All. You can ask for another name or remove a file from the list.

Can I rename multiple files at once?

Yes. Drop as many files as you like, or a whole folder, and rename them all at once. In cloud mode each file uses one credit.

AI Renamer for photographers

Name every shot by what is in the frame.

DSC_0042 is not a name a client can search for. AI Renamer looks at each exported photo and names it after the people, the place and the moment.

Content aware

It looks at the photo.

DSC_0042 tells you nothing about the shot.

A vision model looks at each picture and names what is in it: the people, the place, the light. You see every suggestion next to its thumbnail before anything changes.

Reads JPG, PNG, TIFF and WEBP
Thumbnail next to every new name
Nothing renamed until you approve

Your naming style

Names the way you file them.

Every gallery ends up with its own naming mess.

Pick snake case or kebab case, cap the length and tell it in plain words what to keep, like the client name from the original file.

Private shoots

Client work stays on your computer.

Some clients do not want their photos uploaded anywhere.

Run a vision model through Ollama or LM Studio and every photo is read on your own machine, offline. Local mode also passes the EXIF data, so the date taken and the camera can go in the name.
