rsk.rename

Note about the trial version: The free trial version is limited to 25 files per renaming operationone saved preset, and does not allow for the export of logs or lists. This lets you get to know rsk.rename at your own pace and test the workflow. Once you’ve successfully purchased a license, all features will be available in full and without restrictions.

A tool for clean filenames and repeatable workflows

Whether it’s photos, documents, audio files, exports, or archived data: as soon as you have a large number of files, you’ll quickly end up with inconsistent filenames and unnecessary manual work. rsk.rename helps you organize and process such data in a structured way.

The software combines flexible renaming rules with intuitive user guidance. You can not only rename files, but also copy or move them, combine rules, preview results, and save recurring tasks as presets. A command-line version is also available for advanced scenarios.

What makes rsk.rename particularly useful in everyday life

Binding Preview

Before each run, you can see exactly what changes will be made. This provides peace of mind before the files are actually edited.

More than just renaming

rsk.rename can rename, copy, or move files, making it suitable for structured import and export processes.

Presets for routines

Recurring tasks can be saved and reused later with just a few clicks.

GUI and Command Line

Use the desktop app for convenient work and the CLI for scripts, batch processes, and automated jobs.

Desktop app for streamlined workflows. Command line for maximum efficiency.

rsk.rename is designed to help you get up to speed quickly using the graphical interface. The 4-step workflow guides you from selecting the source files through setting rules and previewing the results to executing the task with logging and undo functionality. This makes even large jobs easy to track and control.

At the same time, you can also access saved presets via the command line. This allows you to integrate recurring tasks into batch files, shell scripts, or technical routines. You can easily define the logic in the user interface and then apply it exactly where automation makes sense.

Harness the power of the command line—without sacrificing the user-friendly interface of a modern desktop app.

Live preview for confident decisions

Before rsk.rename applies any changes, the preview displays the original and new names side by side. This allows you to immediately see whether the rules are working as intended, which entries are problematic, and whether a batch is ready to run. This direct oversight is a major advantage, especially when dealing with large numbers of files.

Combine rules flexibly instead of following a rigid approach

From prefixes, suffixes, and replacements to regular expressions, positional modifications, numbering, and file extension logic: rsk.rename uses a rule pipeline that can be freely combined. Rules can be enabled, disabled, and reordered. This allows you to turn simple functions into a precise workflow tailored to your specific task.

Using tokens and metadata effectively

When file names need to be not only standardized but also generated based on specific information, the token system really comes into its own. Placeholders for the file name, extension, date, folder name, or sequential number can be used, as can EXIF, ID3, or video metadata. This is particularly useful for photos, music archives, media productions, and standardized file sets.
