RenamerX Documentation
Learn how to install RenamerX, build reliable naming workflows, and keep every rename under your control.
Start here
Set up the desktop app, complete a small first rename, then learn what happens before RenamerX changes anything on disk.
Install RenamerX
Install the desktop app and finish the first-launch local resource setup.
Run your first rename
Start with a small review-first batch, apply it safely, and learn how to undo.
Understand how it works
Follow the path from file analysis and naming suggestions to review and apply.
Choose your workflow
Use Batch Rename for focused cleanup. Use Watch Folders when a proven template should handle new files over time.
Batch Rename
Add files, inspect suggestions, edit names, apply selected changes, and undo when needed.
Watch Folders
Monitor incoming folders and choose between review-first and automatic processing.
Shape your naming system
Turn your preferred structure into repeatable rules, then decide how much local processing and normalization each workflow needs.
Templates
Build reusable filename patterns from metadata fields, text, separators, and fallbacks.
Preferences
Configure language, appearance, shortcuts, updates, billing, and system behavior.
Local AI Runtime
Understand local models, resource downloads, offline behavior, and runtime controls.
