Tired of Renaming Files One by One?

Whether you’re a photographer with thousands of images, a developer managing assets, or anyone dealing with messy file names — manual renaming wastes hours of your precious time.

❌ The Old Way:

IMG_0001.jpg → Click → Rename → Type → Enter → Repeat 500x…

✓ The Smart Rename Way

Transform Chaos Into Order — Instantly

🔍

Find & Replace

Replace any text pattern across all files at once. Supports regex with capture groups for power users.

🔢

Smart Sequences

Add numbered sequences (001, 002, 003…) with customizable padding and start values.

🔠

Case Transformation

UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case, or Sentence case — apply consistently in one click.

📷

EXIF & GPS Metadata

Auto-extract camera model, lens, date, and even city/country from GPS coordinates. Custom date formats like {date:yyyyMMdd} included.

🎬

Video Makers

Name footage by capture date, device and location read from the video’s own metadata (MOV, MP4, M4V), then add numbered sequences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I try before buying?

Absolutely! The free version includes every renaming feature, with a 30-file limit per operation. Test everything before deciding if Pro is right for you.

Is there a subscription?

No! Pro is a one-time purchase, priced in your local currency on the App Store. Future updates are included. No recurring fees, ever.

What if I’m not satisfied?

Refunds are handled directly by Apple via reportaproblem.apple.com. You can also try every feature for free on up to 30 files before buying — no card required.

Does it work with Intel Macs?

Yes! Smart Rename is a universal app: it runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later.

Is my data safe?

Smart Rename processes your files locally on your Mac: no telemetry, no analytics, no account, no cloud storage. The only exception is optional: if you use the {city} or {country} variables, GPS coordinates are sent to Apple’s geocoding service to resolve the place name. Nothing else leaves your Mac.
