About
A free online image renamer
renameafile is a free image renamer. Camera files and downloads often arrive with names like IMG_4032.JPG or screenshot-2024-... that tell you nothing. Open them here, see a thumbnail of each one, type the name you want, and save a clean copy. The original photo is left untouched and the image itself is never re-encoded, so there is no quality loss. Only the filename changes.
Because it runs entirely in your browser, your photos are never uploaded. That makes it just as suitable for private pictures as for a quick rename, and it works on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iPhone, anywhere with a modern browser.
Rename a batch of photos at once
Use the batch tools to number an entire set 1, 2, 3, add a prefix or suffix, change the letter case, or find and replace text across every filename. Made a mistake? The Undo button steps back through your batch changes one at a time, so it is easy to experiment.
Name photos by the date they were taken
The photo tools read each image's own details right on your device. "Name by date taken" reads the EXIF date your camera saved and renames the photo to a sortable name like 2024-06-05_14-30-22, which is perfect for putting a camera roll back in order. "Add dimensions" appends the pixel size, such as -1920x1080. Both read the data locally, so nothing is ever uploaded.

FAQ
Questions about renaming images
How do I rename a photo?
Choose the image, see its thumbnail, type the new name in the box, and save it. You can download the renamed copy or save it straight to a folder, and the extension is kept automatically.
Does renaming change the image quality?
No. Only the filename changes. The image is never re-encoded, so the pixels, resolution and EXIF data are left exactly as they were. There is no quality loss.
Can I rename HEIC photos from my iPhone?
Yes. HEIC, JPG, PNG, WEBP and any other image format work the same way, and it runs in mobile browsers on iPhone and Android just like on a computer.
Can I rename many photos at once?
Yes. Add a whole set, then use the batch tools to number them 1, 2, 3, add a prefix or suffix, change the letter case, or find and replace text across every filename.
Can I rename photos by the date they were taken?
Yes. The photo tools include "Name by date taken", which reads the EXIF date stored in each JPEG and renames it to a sortable date like 2024-06-05_14-30-22. Photos without an embedded date are left unchanged, and nothing is uploaded.
Can I add the image size to the filename?
Yes. "Add dimensions" reads each image's width and height and appends them, for example -1920x1080. The size is read locally, so your photos are never uploaded.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser: images are read, renamed, and saved back to your device. Nothing is sent to a server.
Can I change an image's format, like JPG to PNG?
Renaming changes the name only. Typing png in place of jpg renames the file but does not convert it, so the contents are still a JPG. To actually change the format you need an image converter.
Is the image renamer free?
Yes. No account, no limits, no upload.
