Best apps to bulk rename files on Windows 10

The file names your camera and phone automatically generate are terrible, here are the best ways to get your files organized on Windows 10.

If you've ever taken a bunch of photos and then gone to edit them on your PC, you've experienced having to sort through the generic file name that's generated by your phone or camera. Bulk renaming files is the easiest way to organize these systematically.

Bulk file naming isn't just for photos either. Some apps are for organizing episodes of a television show or any group of files that you'd like. Here are the best tools to organize all of your files.

Filebot

Filebot is the most expensive entry on this list at $19.99, but with that comes a significant amount of power and features. It's aimed at renaming files that are media content such as movies, films, TV episodes, and songs. You can use Filebot to match files against TheMovieDB or TheTVDB. With that comes the ability to replace add episode titles to TV shows and similar tasks. This setup is excellent for if you use something like Plex or Kodi because it aids in browsing content and playing things automatically.

Filebot has been around for a long time and earned a solid reputation. It's a great app to look at if you are bringing older formats such as DVDs to your PC or if you have multiple media files that need renaming. The price tag is a bit hard to swallow, but if you need Filebot to boost the functionality of your server or media playing setup, then it could well be worth it.

Filebot is available on Windows 10.
