How to Rename Multiple Files at Once in Finder on Mac

Are you tired of manually renaming individual files on your Mac? With Finder, you can easily rename multiple files at once using the built-in batch rename feature. In this article, we'll explore how to use Finder to rename multiple files with ease.

To get started, select the files you want to rename by Command-Clicking each file individually or using Shift-Click to select contiguous files. Once you've selected the files, right-click on one of them and choose 'Rename' from the context menu. You can also access this feature from the Action menu in the Toolbar or File menu.

In the pop-up that opens, you'll see a drop-down menu at the top where you can select a rule to apply to your files. Finder offers three basic rules to help you bulk rename files: 'Rename with Date,' 'Rename with Index,' and 'Rename with Counter.' These rules allow you to add numbers to the name of each file, making it easy to organize your files.

For example, if you want to add the current date to the name of each file, select the 'Rename with Date' rule. You can also choose to use an index or a counter to number your files. Additionally, you can replace text, add text, and format the file names by setting a new name and adding numbers to it.

Finder's batch rename feature is helpful if you only want to use simple ways to rename your files. However, if you need more advanced features, there are other third-party tools available that offer more flexibility.

Some of the key features of Finder's batch rename tool include:

* Ability to add a sequence to multiple files

* Option to add a date and time to multiple filenames

* Possibility to bulk add text to multiple existing file names

* Ability to batch delete parts of the file names

* Option to replace multiple file names

* Capability to change the case of multiple file names

By using Finder's batch rename feature, you can save time and effort when renaming multiple files on your Mac. Whether you're a photographer importing photos or simply need to organize your files, this feature is easy to use and effective.

In addition to the built-in batch rename tool, there are also other ways to bulk rename files on your Mac. You can use Terminal commands to achieve similar results. For example, you can use the `mv` command to rename multiple files at once.

Another way to save and use batch rename rules as favorites is by using a third-party app like A Better Finder Rename. This app offers more advanced features and allows you to create custom rules for renaming your files.

Whether you're a Mac user or not, understanding how to bulk rename files can be a game-changer in terms of productivity and organization. By following these simple steps, you can easily rename multiple files at once using Finder on your Mac.
