Renaming the files and folders stored on our computer can be a simple task, of course, if we only have to take care of a few contents, but if there are many, you may get tired quickly. Anyway, you have to know that in these cases, we have some programs that will work as assistants, as is the case with Rename Expert, which we will analyze in detail.

The first thing we must emphasize about Rename Expert is that it has been developed to modify the name of the folders and files we keep on our PC, saving enormous time. With a few clicks, you can shorten the long names of some documents, number the contents of your computer, and even change the extensions of different files.

How it works

Unlike other more straightforward applications within this segment, Rename Expert is notable because it allows us to work with different metadata, such as those that correspond to EXIF, IPTC, or ID3. If you have taken advantage of this type of system's potential, you will know that it is a much simpler method for adding all the information you want to each file.

If we are talking about software designed to rename contents stored in our computer, we must say that Rename Expert allows us to work with batches of folders and several documents. Thus, all you have to do is choose the name they will have from now on, and then if you want to add some numbering, and even subfolders, to have them better organized.

On the other hand, Rename Expert has an advanced filter system, which will help you modify the names in batches without opening the disk units where these contents are located beforehand. You will be able to set, for example, that only images with specific dimensions will be opened or that only documents with a particular creation date will be accessed.

Fortunately, the preview, a feature we appreciate in all the tools we test, is not missing when we use Rename Expert. In that case, it is essential to check how the names we assign to the new documents look. This way, you can see the modifications in real-time and check that there are no errors that may cause you to waste more time, which we try to avoid.

As we said before, we also really liked the section to work on the files and folders numbering, not only because we can assign a sequential or random numbering to the contents that we have marked but also because, in case there was a previous numbering, it is easy to integrate it to the new one or write over it, removing all its information so that it does not bother us.

And then, there is the matter of changing file extensions, which is also vital to understand the potential of a program like Rename Expert. Thanks to it, you can change any extension and thus format your files, for example, from JPEG to JPG. But you can also add a new extension if it doesn't have one, delete existing ones, or do anything else you can think of. There are no limits to this utility.

We liked the user interface of Rename Expert very much, considering that it is unique and different from what we have seen in any other similar application. You can notice the effort of its developers to offer something different. The colors are very well chosen, the minimalist menus are intuitive almost all the time, and as the files to be modified occupy nearly the entire screen, we will never lose sight of them.

The best

Rename Expert's versatility is why we recommend installing this software on any PC. It's not just about renaming files or folders, although that's its primary objective, but you can also number them, modify their extensions, generate subfolders, clean up any previous organization, etc.

The worst

Although Rename Expert has no significant weaknesses that deserve to be mentioned, we should point out that we would have liked that, being a tool with so many options. It has many languages available beyond English, but some essential languages are missing. Perhaps this is the only aspect we believe its developers should wear shortly.

Rating

In conclusion, we can safely say that Rename Expert is one of the best current alternatives when we think of services to rename content stored on our computer. Its well-designed interface, the multiple functions it offers, and the efficiency with which it works are some of the reasons to give it a chance.
