Rename scanned documents with AI

Scanned documents named by what is on the page.

Scanners name everything scan0001.pdf. AI Renamer reads the scanned page, even when there is no text layer, and gives each scan a name that says what it is.

No text needed

It reads the scan itself.

Scanned PDFs often have no text a computer can search.

When a PDF has no text layer, AI Renamer turns the page into an image and a vision model reads it, so even old paper scans get proper names.

  • Scanned PDFs and JPG scans
  • Letters, forms and certificates
  • Junk scanner names ignored
Personal records

Records stay with you.

Scans of IDs and medical letters are personal.

In local mode a model on your own computer reads the scans, with no upload and no internet needed.

Readable names

Names anyone can read.

Codes like doc00417520261010 mean nothing to anyone.

Capital case with spaces reads like a title in any folder. Add your own instruction for the order of the details.

How it works

Three steps. About a minute.

No rules to write and no patterns to learn. AI Renamer reads the files and you decide what to keep.

  1. 1

    Drop files or a folder

    Drag them onto the window, or pick them with Select Files and Select Folder. Images, PDFs and text files all work.

  2. 2

    AI reads every file

    Each file is read for what it shows or says and gets a new name in a few seconds, written the way you set it up.

  3. 3

    Check, then rename all

    Nothing changes on disk until you press Rename All. Not happy with one name? Ask for another.
