rsk.rename for Windows
Multiple files. A single plan.
Rename, copy, or move hundreds—or even thousands—of files in a single operation, and preview the exact result beforehand.
Live preview · Flexible rules · Presets · No subscription
Note on the trial version: The free trial version is limited to 25 files per renaming operation and one saved preset, and does not allow the export of logs or lists. This allows you to get to know rsk.rename at your own pace and test the workflow. Once licensed, all features become fully available without restrictions.
With ten files, it’s still manageable by hand.
Not at 500 anymore.
Photos from various sources. Exports with cryptic names. Documents that need to follow a fixed schema. Files that must be simultaneously renamed and moved to a new structure.
rsk.rename is designed for exactly these jobs.
Build rules. Check preview. Execute.
Build rules. Check preview. Execute.
Next, you build your rules. Simple replacements, numbering, date values, metadata, regular expressions, or custom JavaScript logic can be combined with one another.
Before rsk.rename changes anything, you see the result.
You only carry out the process when everything is right.
1. Select files
Add individual files or entire folders. You can see exactly what you’re working with.
2. Establish rules
Build exactly the workflow you need. One rule or several in sequence—ranging from simple replacement to custom logic.
3. Check result
The preview shows you the new file name and potential conflicts before any actual changes are made.
What can you do with it?
Quite a lot. Here are a few typical jobs for which I would have built rsk.rename myself.
Name photos neatly
For example, IMG_4821.jpg, IMG_4822.jpg, and IMG_4823.jpg become:
Sommerfest_2026_001.jpgSommerfest_2026_002.jpgSommerfest_2026_003.jpg
Shaping exports
Remove cryptic elements from filenames, add a date, or bring regularly generated files into a consistent format.
Reorganize files simultaneously
Don’t just rename files; copy or move them directly to the right location.
Save recurring jobs
If you regularly need the same workflow, simply save it as a preset and use it again next time.
And if your use case becomes more specific, regex, JavaScript rules and the command line are available.
You see beforehand what happens afterwards.
Correcting an error in a single file is quick. With a thousand files, it’s a different story.
That is why the preview is one of the most important parts of rsk.rename for me.
You see the original and new filenames side by side. Conflicts become visible before you start the process. And the operation only begins once the result looks exactly the way you want it to.
Directly compare original and result → Detect conflicts before execution → Check first, then execute
Don’t just rename it.
rsk.rename can also copy and move files. You can save recurring workflows as presets and reuse them later.
And if you want to automate a workflow, you can execute saved presets via the command line.
So you can start small.
And go pretty far, if you like.
For quick jobs
Drop in the files, create a rule, check the preview, and you’re done.
For recurring tasks
Save your settings as a preset and recall them next time.
For complex rules
Use placeholders, regular expressions, and custom JavaScript logic.
For automated processes
Execute prepared presets via the command line and integrate rsk.rename into existing workflows.
Try it out with your own files.
The test version is there so that you can not only look at rsk.rename, but actually try it out.
You can process up to 25 files and save a custom preset per renaming operation. Exporting logs and lists is not included in the trial version.
That is perfectly sufficient for a first real workflow.
If rsk.rename suits your workflow, a license permanently unlocks all features and removes all limitations.

I am developing rsk.rename myself.
Hi, I’m Christian.
The idea behind rsk.rename is quite simple: If a computer can reliably perform a task for me, I don’t want to do it by hand hundreds of times.
These are exactly the kind of tools I enjoy developing.
rsk.rename is designed to deliver quick results for simple tasks, yet not suddenly hit its limits when a job becomes somewhat more specialized.
If you have a question, find a bug, or have an idea for the application, you can write to me directly.
Still questions?
Yes. rsk.rename shows you the planned result in the live preview before any files are actually modified.
Yes. You can rename, copy, or move files and incorporate these steps into your workflow.
Yes. You can save recurring workflows as presets and reuse them later.
Yes. For more complex tasks, you can use regex and custom JavaScript rules, among other things.
Saved presets can also be executed using the included command-line tool.
You can process up to 25 files per batch and save a preset. Exporting logs and lists becomes available after licensing.
No. You purchase the appropriate license once and can use the licensed major version indefinitely.
Renamed enough files by hand.
