Note about the trial version: The free trial version is limited to 25 files per renaming operation, one 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
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.
Clear guidance from the very first step through to completion
Import files and folders by selecting them or using drag-and-drop, apply filters, and review the source list beforehand.
Determine whether files should be renamed, copied, or moved, and how to handle destination paths.
Combine rules, adjust the order, and preview the results in real time.
Review the summary, start the job, view the log, and use the Undo function if necessary.
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.
Save presets and reuse them later
You don't have to set up recurring tasks from scratch every time. In rsk.rename, you can save complete configurations as presets—including rules, filters, mode, and optional source and destination paths. This allows you to quickly restart typical jobs, run them consistently, and trigger them via the command line if needed.
Powerful features for structured file processing
Renaming the Right Way
Prefixes and suffixes, replacement, regular expressions, text insertion, shifting substrings, numbering with a starting value and padding, and flexible handling of file extensions form the basis for precise filenames.
Filter and Select
Wildcard filters, regex filters, subfolder processing, path depth limits, and file length rules help ensure that only the files that truly belong in the workflow are processed.
Advanced features for complex cases
JavaScript rules, CSV mapping, metadata tokens, reference dialogs, debugging tools, and a modular rule editor provide the necessary flexibility even for complex scenarios.
Typical use cases for rsk.rename
Photos and Camera Imports
Incorporate EXIF data into filenames, organize photo series, and consistently structure your image collections.
Music and Audio Archives
Use the title, album, artist, or track number from the metadata to organize your collections neatly.
Video and Media Production
Standardize the naming conventions for raw data, exports, and final files, and transfer them to defined target structures.
Documents and project files
Standardize scans, work in progress, export files, and storage locations so that content remains easier to find.
Why rsk.rename?
rsk.rename is designed for users who don’t want to leave file processing to chance. The tool combines a clear, guided workflow with a powerful rules engine, making even large jobs easy to track. Instead of cryptic batch processing, you get a modern interface, mandatory previews, logging, undo functionality, and enough depth to handle complex requirements.
rsk.rename really shines where desktop convenience meets automation. Rules are configured visually, saved as presets, and can be reused later via the command line as needed. This is exactly what makes the software suitable for everyday use while also being suitable for professional applications.
Designed for controlled file operations
When it comes to file operations, reliability is just as important as flexibility. By default, rsk.rename does not overwrite existing files. Before each run, it checks for conflicts, flags problematic entries, and only proceeds with the operation once a valid preview is available.
In addition, undo, preflight checks, rollback mechanisms, and comprehensive logging ensure that even large jobs remain traceable.
