What is AI Renamer App?

AI Renamer App is a file organizer tool. A Mac and Windows desktop app that reads image and document contents to generate descriptive filenames, with a cloud credit mode or a one time local mode running through Ollama and LM Studio.

AI Renamer is a desktop application for macOS and Windows that reads the contents of a file and proposes a human readable filename in place of camera codes, download hashes or screenshot timestamps. It handles images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WEBP) and text based documents including PDF, TXT and similar formats, using vision and language models to work out what each file actually contains. Renaming happens inside the app after a preview step, so nothing changes on disk until the suggested names are accepted. The tool is aimed at people whose folders have quietly become unusable: photographers with card dumps, designers collecting reference screenshots, researchers sitting on a stack of PDFs, and anyone who files receipts or scans with names like IMG_4471. Batch handling is the core workflow. Files are dragged in, the model proposes a name for each one, and the whole set can be applied together. Custom instructions let the user push naming toward a personal convention rather than accepting the default output. Two modes decide both cost and privacy. Cloud Mode draws on a curated set of models and charges one credit per rename, with a 10MB ceiling per file. Local Mode runs entirely on the machine through Ollama or LM Studio, with no file size cap and unlimited renaming. OpenAI and other custom providers are also accepted, and Google AI Studio was added in version 1.7.5. Local Mode is sold as a one time purchase, while Cloud Mode runs on credits that never expire. Against general file organisers, AI Renamer is deliberately narrow: it renames, it does not sort, tag, deduplicate or move. Against scripting file names with a shell loop, it adds content understanding at the cost of a model call per file. The choice mostly comes down to whether privacy or convenience matters more, and the app lets a single user pick differently per project.

How do you use AI Renamer App?

  1. 1Install the desktop app
    Download the build for Mac or Windows from the homepage and run it. The app is distributed directly rather than through an app store, so expect a standard installer step.
    AI Renamer App — Install the desktop app
  2. 2Sign up for the free credits
    Creating an account grants 10 credits for testing the Cloud Mode path, enough to see how the model names a representative sample of files.
  3. 3Choose Cloud Mode or set up local models
    Pick Cloud Mode for zero setup, or follow the Ollama walkthrough to install a local model such as Llava and point AI Renamer at it.

  4. 4Drag files in and review suggested names
    Add images or documents to the queue, let the model propose names, and read through the preview before applying anything.
  5. 5Add custom instructions for your naming style
    Use the custom instructions feature to shape output, for example a date prefix plus a short subject description, and rerun if a batch misses the mark.
  6. 6Check how files are handled before going further
    Read the safety writeup to understand the difference between cloud processing and local processing if the files are sensitive.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Preview before renaming means nothing is overwritten by surpriseAI
  • Local Mode through Ollama or LM Studio keeps files off the network entirelyAI
  • Batch renaming applies one consistent naming pattern across a whole folderAI
  • Custom instructions let users define their own naming conventions rather than accept defaultsAI
  • Credits in Cloud Mode do not expire, so occasional users are not punished for gapsAI

Cons

  • Local Mode costs $19 up front and still expects the user to install Ollama or LM Studio and pull a modelAI
  • Cloud Mode caps files at 10MB each, which rules out large PDFs and high resolution raw filesAI
  • No sorting, tagging, deduplication or folder restructuring, so the tidying work stops at the filenameAI
  • Desktop only, with no web app, mobile client or browser extension for quick renamesAI
  • Model choice affects output quality, and the site itself acknowledges gibberish or ignored instructions as a real failure caseAI
