About the Bulk Text Replace Tool
This tool performs find-and-replace across every file name in your batch simultaneously. Enter the text to find, enter what to replace it with (or leave empty to simply delete it), and every match is updated instantly. The live preview shows exactly what will change before you download.
It handles all occurrences by default — if "IMG_" appears twice in a name, both get replaced. The optional case-sensitive mode lets you target exact capitalisation patterns when needed.
Find & Replace vs Remove Text
Our Remove Text tool only deletes text. This Bulk Text Replace tool substitutes — you can replace "old" with "new", "v1" with "v2", or "draft" with "final". If you leave the replace field empty, it functions as a removal tool.
