Renamer.ai

Renamer.ai is an AI‑powered file renaming tool that replaces chaotic filenames with clear, searchable labels by reading the actual content of your documents. It works with PDFs, images, office documents, emails, and more – using OCR, natural language processing, and computer vision to pull out dates, company names, document types, and visual content. The result is a set of well‑structured file names that make your downloads, shared drives, and archives instantly more organized, with minimal manual effort.

• AI content‑aware renaming: Uses OCR, NLP, and computer vision to analyze the inside of 30+ file types and generate names based on real content rather than metadata or manual patterns.
• Magic Folders automation: Monitors specific folders of your choice and automatically renames incoming files in the background, keeping live directories tidy without constant attention.
• Custom naming templates: Drag‑and‑drop builder that lets you combine variables like dates, document types, companies, amounts, project names, and custom fields into consistent templates.
• Bulk renaming with safety controls: Process batches of files at once with a live preview of the new names and built‑in undo options to avoid irreversible mistakes.
• Multilingual support and integrations: Handles 20+ languages, supports files up to 100 MB, and offers a web interface, desktop apps for Windows and Mac, plus an API for custom workflow integrations.
• Privacy‑focused architecture: Enterprise‑grade encryption, short retention of uploaded files, and a “not a storage service” approach that appeals to compliance‑conscious teams.

1. Sign up or install: Create an account at renamer.ai or download the Windows/Mac desktop app. The web interface requires no installation.
2. Choose your files or folder: Drag and drop files into the workspace, or set up a Magic Folder that will be monitored automatically.
3. Configure naming rules (optional): Create a naming template by dragging variables (date, document type, company, etc.) into place, or let the AI suggest names based on content.
4. Preview the changes: Review the generated names in the table. Check edge cases, especially for poor scans or handwritten documents.
5. Apply and rename: Click “Rename” to update all files at once. A full undo is available if anything doesn’t look right.
6. Set up continuous automation: For recurring folders (like Downloads), enable Magic Folders to automatically rename new files as they arrive.

• Web application: Full access through any modern browser, no installation needed.

• Start with a small batch: Test the AI’s suggestions on a handful of files first to understand how it interprets your specific document types.
• Leverage Magic Folders for ongoing workflows: Point it at your Downloads folder or a shared team inbox to keep clutter from accumulating again.
• Fine‑tune templates gradually: Begin with a simple template (e.g., {date} – {document_type}) and add more variables once you’re confident the data is extracted consistently.
• Use the preview religiously: Always review renamed filenames before committing, especially when dealing with contracts or invoices where a misnamed file can cause confusion.
• Combine with cloud storage: Rename files directly inside Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive folders (via the desktop app) so that organized names sync everywhere.
• Archive old scans first: If you have a messy legacy folder, run it through the bulk processing early on – the tool is designed for one‑time cleanups as well as ongoing automation.

• Freelancers and solopreneurs who handle everything from contracts to deliverables and want to spend less time sorting and renaming manually.
