AI Renamer

Bulk rename files based on what is actually in them

What AI Renamer is

A desktop utility that names files from their contents. Instead of IMG_4821 or scan_003, it reads the image or document and writes something searchable, then applies that across a folder in one pass.

It runs on Mac and Windows rather than in the browser, which suits the main use case: bulk organising of local material.

What you can do with it

  • Rename folders of photos, screenshots, design assets, PDFs or scans in bulk
  • Clean up desktops, project folders and shared drives
  • Run a local model through Ollama or LM Studio so files do not leave the machine

Who it is for

  • Photographers, designers, content and operations staff
  • Researchers and admin teams handling large volumes of files

What to watch out for

  • Automatic naming is approximate; similar files can be confused, and a wrong name on a contract is worse than a generic one
  • Spot-check batches before trusting them
  • Decide whether processing is local or cloud for contracts, invoices and customer files
  • New accounts start with a small credit allowance, so large libraries are worth pricing first

Pros & cons

✓ What we like

  • Bulk renaming driven by actual file content
  • Desktop app suits large local libraries
  • Local model option keeps sensitive files on the machine
  • Makes archives genuinely searchable

! What to watch out for

  • Generated names need spot-checking
  • Large libraries consume credits or require a plan

FAQ

Is it a web tool or a desktop app?

A desktop app, with downloads for both Mac and Windows.

Can it run without sending files to the cloud?

Yes. The local setup documentation mentions Ollama and LM Studio for running a model on your own machine.

Do I still need to check the results?

Yes. Bulk renaming is fast but imperfect, so sampling the output is worth the minute it takes.
