About the File Name Changer
Our File Name Changer is a versatile utility that lets you change the names of any file type — documents, spreadsheets, images, videos, audio files, code files, archives, and more. Whether you need to standardise a folder of mixed files or prepare deliverables for a client, this tool handles it in seconds.
The tool runs entirely inside your browser, which means your files are never uploaded to any server. This makes it fast, secure, and usable even without an internet connection after the page has loaded. There are no file type restrictions — if your operating system can handle the file, so can this tool.
Flexible Naming Options
The File Name Changer supports custom base names so you can name files anything you want. Automatic sequential numbering adds a number to each file to prevent duplicates. Choose from four separator styles — underscore, hyphen, space, or dot. You can also normalise file extensions to lowercase for consistency across platforms.
All File Types Welcome
Unlike tools that only handle images or documents, the File Name Changer works with every file type. PDF reports, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, MP4 videos, MP3 audio, ZIP archives, Python scripts, HTML files, font files — everything is supported. File extensions are always preserved so your files remain fully functional.

Frequently Asked Questions
What file types can I rename?
Everything! The tool works with all file types — PDF, DOCX, XLSX, JPG, PNG, MP4, MP3, ZIP, PY, HTML, CSS, JS, WOFF, and any other file your browser can read.
Does it change file content?
No. Only the file name is changed. The file content, formatting, metadata, and internal structure remain completely untouched.
What separator should I use?
Underscores are most common in technical environments. Hyphens are preferred for web URLs and SEO. Spaces are natural for documents. Dots are sometimes used in versioning.
Is there a file count limit?
No limit on the number of files. Individual files can be up to 100MB each. The tool handles large batches smoothly in your browser.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
Absolutely not. Everything runs inside your browser using JavaScript. Files are read, renamed and zipped on your own device.
What does "convert extensions to lowercase" do?
This option changes extensions like .JPG to .jpg, .PDF to .pdf, etc. It helps ensure consistency, especially on case-sensitive systems like Linux servers.
