About the Duplicate File Name Remover
When you download files from the web, receive attachments from multiple people, or merge photo libraries from different devices, you often end up with files that share the same name. This tool instantly detects every duplicate and adds sequential numbers to make each name unique — "report.pdf" becomes "report_1.pdf" and "report_2.pdf".
The tool scans all uploaded files, identifies name collisions, and resolves them before you download. Files with unique names pass through untouched. Everything runs locally in your browser with complete privacy.
How Duplicate Detection Works
The tool compares every file name (including extension) against all other files in the batch. When two or more files share the exact same name, sequential numbers are appended to the base name while preserving the original extension. The numbering is clean and consistent — no random characters or timestamps, just simple _1, _2, _3 suffixes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does it detect duplicates?
The tool compares the full file name (including extension) of every uploaded file. If two or more files share the exact same name, they are flagged and numbered.

No — it only checks file names. Two files with identical names but different content will both be kept with unique numbers added.
What happens to unique files?
Files with unique names pass through completely untouched. Only files with name collisions are modified.
Does it change file content?
No. Only file names are modified. Content, quality, and metadata remain completely untouched.
Are files uploaded to a server?
Absolutely not. Everything runs in your browser. Files are read, renamed and zipped on your device.
Can I process hundreds of files?
Yes. There is no file count limit. Individual files can be up to 100MB each.
