Which text formats are supported?

TXT, Markdown, CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, HTML, CSS, logs, diffs and about 80 code and text extensions in total.

Can it rename Word documents?

No, DOCX is not supported. Save the document as TXT or PDF first.

Is there a size limit?

In cloud mode text files can be up to 1 MB. Local mode has no size limit.

Can it use only the old file name?

Yes. Set Rename based on to File name only and AI Renamer cleans up the existing name without reading or sending the content.

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.
