Better Rename 12.36 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesBetter Rename, known in full as A Better Finder Rename, is a long-running batch file renamer for Mac from publicspace.net. It is built for anyone who regularly has to rename large sets of files - photographers, musicians, office workers and archivists - and it shows you exactly what every new name will look like before anything is changed. Instead of renaming files one by one in the Finder, you build a renaming plan once and apply it to hundreds or thousands of files in a single pass.
Key Features
- Rename thousands of files at once using multi-step renaming actions
- Live preview of every proposed new name before you commit to the change
- Rename photos using EXIF shooting data and audio files using their music tags
- Find and replace text, add sequence numbers, and use regular expressions for complex jobs
- Save favourite renaming setups as presets to reuse on similar jobs

FAQs
Is Better Rename free?
No. It is a paid app sold as a one-time purchase from the developer, and a free trial is available on the official site so you can test it on your own files before buying.
Can it rename photos by the date they were taken?
Yes. It can read EXIF metadata stored in photos and use the shooting date and time as part of the new file name, which is a popular way to organise large photo libraries.
