## Overview

The Batch Image Rename tool allows you to quickly rename up to 100 image files simultaneously using custom patterns, sequential numbering, text replacement, and case conversion. Simply upload your images, configure your naming rules, and download the organized files in a single ZIP archive.

## Inputs

- **Image Files (up to 100)** (file): Select up to 100 image files to rename
- **Rename Pattern** (text): Use {name} for original name, {n} for number, {n:03} for padded number, {date}, {time}, {year}, {month}, {day}, {hour}, {minute}, {second}, {ext}
- **Find Text** (text): Leave pattern empty to use this option
- **Replace With** (text): Replacement text
- **Add Prefix** (text): e.g., "Vacation_" or "IMG_"
- **Add Suffix** (text): e.g., "_edited" or "_final"
- **Start Number** (number): Starting number for {n} placeholder
- **Case Conversion** (select)

## When to use

- When you need to organize a large set of camera photos by adding sequential numbers or date stamps to their filenames.
- When you want to standardize image filenames for a website by converting them to lowercase or kebab-case.
- When you need to replace specific text strings, prefixes, or suffixes across multiple image files at once.

## How it works

- Upload up to 100 image files that you want to rename.
- Define your renaming rules by entering a pattern (using placeholders like {n}, {year}, or {name}), setting up find-and-replace text, or choosing a case conversion style.
- Process the files and download the renamed images packaged inside a ZIP archive.

## Use cases

- Sorting vacation photos by renaming them with sequential numbers like Photo_001, Photo_002, and so on.
- Formatting product images for an e-commerce store to use lowercase kebab-case for better SEO.
- Adding date prefixes to screenshots to keep project assets chronologically organized.

## Frequently asked questions

### What placeholders can I use in the rename pattern?

You can use {name} for the original name, {n} for sequential numbers, {n:03} for padded numbers, {ext} for the file extension, and date/time tags like {year}, {month}, {day}, {hour}, {minute}, and {second}.

### Can I convert the filename case to match web standards?

Yes, you can convert filenames to lowercase, UPPERCASE, Title Case, Sentence case, snake_case, or kebab-case using the Case Conversion option.

### How many images can I rename at one time?

You can upload and rename up to 100 image files in a single batch.

### How do I receive the renamed files?

The tool processes your images and packages them into a single ZIP file for you to download.

### Can I add prefixes or suffixes without changing the entire filename?

Yes, you can use the 'Add Prefix' and 'Add Suffix' fields to append text to the beginning or end of the original filenames without applying a full rename pattern.
