File Renamer Pro

Batch rename files with live preview, regex find & replace, EXIF dates, and one-click undo on your Mac

macOSUtilities$9.99v1.0

File Renamer Pro shows every proposed filename — batch, date, or sequence — alongside the original before a single file changes. Duplicate names are flagged in red so you resolve conflicts first. Then rename the entire batch in one action, or undo it in one action if you change your mind.

What it does

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

👀
Live preview with conflict detection

See every proposed name beside the original before anything changes, with duplicate names flagged in red so you resolve conflicts first.

🏷️
Mask mode

Combine a text mask with a separator and a differentiator — sequential index with zero-padding, date stamp, time stamp, or none.

🔁
Find and replace with regex

Search with plain text or regular expressions, with inline regex validation and optional case-sensitive matching.

📷
EXIF date extraction

Rename photos by their EXIF capture date instead of file-system dates, read concurrently across the whole batch.

↩️
One-click undo

Reverse an entire rename batch in one action — several rename steps stay on the undo stack.

💾
Presets and copy mode

Save up to 20 named rename presets, or write renamed copies to a destination folder while your originals stay untouched.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a subscription?
No. File Renamer Pro is a one-time purchase ($9.99). All features and updates are included with no recurring fees.
Does it use the cloud?
No. The app is fully offline — no network connection is required, no account to create, and no data ever leaves your computer.
Can I undo a rename?
Yes. After a batch completes you can reverse the entire operation in one action, and several rename steps are kept on the undo stack.
Can I rename photos by capture date?
Yes. The app reads the EXIF capture date directly from each image rather than relying on file-system dates.
Can I keep my originals untouched?
Yes. Copy-to-folder mode writes renamed copies into a destination folder of your choice instead of modifying files in place.
