Bulk file renamer for document batches
RenameHub is an online bulk file renamer built for operators who handle recurring document drops — month-end PDFs, client uploads, or shared folders that accumulate generic names like scan_0042.pdf. You queue a batch, preview every new name, and apply changes in one job instead of renaming files one by one.
Four steps to a bulk rename job
- Connect Dropbox or upload files from your computer.
- Choose an existing naming template or build token-based rules (dates, document type, client fields, separators).
- Preview generated filenames and fix conflicts before anything is written.
- Run the job and track per-file progress until the batch completes or retries failed items.
Smarter than find-and-replace
Rule-only bulk renamers excel at adding prefixes. Document work needs context from inside each file. RenameHub combines templates with AI-assisted classification so invoices, statements, and contracts can pick up vendor, date, or reference fields when metadata allows — especially for PDF workflows covered on our PDF renamer page.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about bulk renaming files with RenameHub.
How many files can I rename in one batch?
There is no small artificial cap on batch size in the product — jobs can include large folders. Your plan limits how many files complete AI-powered rename extraction per month: 20 on the free trial (lifetime), 500 on Starter ($9/mo), 2,500 on Pro ($19/mo), and 10,000 on Business ($49/mo).
Can I preview names before applying a bulk rename?
Yes. Every batch shows proposed filenames before you commit. Review conflicts and adjust templates so you do not push bad names into Dropbox or your upload folder.
Does bulk renaming work with Dropbox?
Yes. Connect Dropbox, select folders, and run rename jobs in place without downloading and re-uploading files. You can also upload files directly from your computer if you are not using cloud storage yet.
