Since installation is not necessary, you can place Portable Bulk Rename Utility on a removable device (like a USB flash drive), plug it into any computer and directly run its executable file. What's more important is the fact that your Windows registry keys will remain intact. Method 1: Use ‘Bulk rename utility’ to batch rename your files and folders. The interface of the program is cluttered but easy to work with. Thanks to the Explorer-based layout, you can easily locate and select files for processing. So, you can match and replace text, delete characters which are placed on a specific position, add a prefix and suffix, as well as number filenames. Create preference lists for easier management later onīut you can also change the case, crop, move or copy text, append the folder name, change the extension, includes hidden files and subfolders, specify the new location of the files, and more. Use this to tell Advanced Renamer at what position in the filename the text should be added. In addition, you can import a plain text document that contains rename pairs, jump to a specific directory, select items from the clipboard, create an undo batch file, reset all criteria, create a favorites and ignore list, enable Portable Bulk Rename Utility to stay on top of other processes and to overwrite target files, change file attributes, create a new timestamp, and more. If you want to add it to the beginning of the file, set the index to 1. If the index is longer than the filename, the text will be added to the end. If the value is non-numeric the index will be set to the index of the pattern supplied.

The application requires a very low amount of system resources, has a very good response time and didn't freeze, crash or pop up errors during our tests. On the other hand, the interface needs major improvements, since it's outdated. Plus, we were not able to access the help file.

Other than that, we strongly recommend Portable Bulk Rename Utility to all users, since it comes equipped with all the elements needed for renaming files in batch mode.
