How to rename multiple files in Windows

Thanks a lot

Thank you so much! I can't express enough how much this has helped me. I've been renaming my video files manually. Saved me time, aggravation and frustration. Excellent, easy instructions. 🥰

Super useful! Thank you for the knowledge.

THANK U!!!! U saved me from sitting and spending days renaming thousands of files

Dzięki :)

It was very useful...thank you so much for making this video.

i love you so much for this thank you

Great video, I'm training a model and I have thousands of images to rename. Thank you so much!

Helped a lot, thanks! It was necessary to remove the spaces from the names, it worked :)

Thanks For THIS video

I have a bunch of picture files with no extension. How do you add an extension to the end?

Very helpful thanks :D

I was looking for a script. But after watching the first few examples I realized that using a script, things could go horribly wrong. This method is so much more controlled yet still much faster than renaming files individually. You Ma'am have saved me hours upon hours of tedious and repetitive typing. Thank you.

Incredible, can this be done with the Directories (Folders) themselves. If you have multiple folders and instead of "Rename - Item" you say "Rename" would it work?

Very helpful. You deserve a medal.

super op

Excellent video! Thank you :) Is there a way to rename the batch to the same name but instead of having the sequential number in brackets have an underscore... I tried powershell and replacing the brackets for nothing but it did not let me... I used the formula to replace the space with an underscore and it worked but I cannot get rid of the brackets... I used: > dir | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.name -replace "(-", ""}

thank you

Thanks a lot. You made my day. My issue got resolved after a long time. Appreciated

Awesomee!!

Nice work
but how can i add incremental number in the end of each file by using batch (.Bat) to prevent duplicate files names

this is the code for rename files
just change echo to be ren


@echo off
pushd "Folder"
for /r %%D in (.) do (for %%F in ("%%~D\*") do (for %%P in ("%%F\..") do (echo "%%F" "%%~nxD(aaa)%%~xF"
)
)
)
popd
pause

Thank you so much. This is the best video I found. I only needed the code on adding name at the beginning and you're the only one who had it. So helpful!

Karina, Thank you for sharing this video. It indeed help me saving time. Also as a Taiwanese seeing the video with “Taiwan” as a example. It made me more focus in the film.

Has everything but how to add text to the middle of a file name, would love an example of that!

Thanks a lot, this was very useful and you explained it really well!

Thanks a lot. I can't explain how much easier you have made my life.

This was probably the most useful video I've ever seen

Thank a lot it saved my lots of time and this was the perfect solution that i was looking for!

Can I rename "Taiwan" into "China"?

Very good tutorial. It didn't work out for me probably as the names of the files I try to rename are partially in the Latin alphabet and partially in Farsi and I don't have a mixed keyboard.

Very good. Just that with more contra color, it will be easier to see what you type.

you have saved me 100s of hours! I can't thank you enough for this video! 100 out of 10!! Thank you!

I love you sooo much !! thank you for this :)

Wow! Amazing, Karina. This is one of the best videos at the moment! You explained it very details and the quality is superb!!

Your video so useful. Thank for sharing

Brillant vídeo! Thanks!! What if i want to add as a prefix somethung like thst = _01.1 ( first pictures ) _01.2 ( second pictures)....till the end of the files? But not loosing the files names It self but adding this information?

hello there, can you help on reneming extension file from "avi" to "mp4"
thank you

AHh Thank you! Had to rename over 600 png files for it to work in maya. The renaming convention made it work!!!!

Thank you so much for this! This has saved me so much time on renaming hundred of files!

excellent video !! i wish you showed how to add increasing numbers at the start or end of file name, that would have been perfect, i guess i can do that by combining the multiple rename windows tool with ctrl+a and f2, and then a few powershell commands to remove spaces and parentheses, but a powershell command would have been nicer, more customisable
