With the free software IrfanView you can rename many pictures at once. In this article we show you exactly how to proceed.
How to rename several images at the same time with IrfanView
Naming dozens of vacation pictures from the digital camera usually takes a long time. With IrfanView you can rename all images in a folder at once:
- Open an image from the folder with IrfanView.
- Then press [B] to enter the so-called batch / batch conversion mode.
- Select "Rename batch" here and enter the new file name of the images in the "Name" field. It must end with a diamond. It stands for a consecutive number - for example "Chip_Online_ #" (see picture).
- Now all you have to do is specify a destination folder for the renamed images and click on "Add all" (see image).
- With "Start" all photos are renamed and saved in the specified folder.
In this practical tip, we will show you which image editing tools you use to turn your photos into real eye-catchers.
