## Overview (en)

The batch file renamer gives a set of files sequential names and downloads the renamed copies together in renamed-files.zip. You choose a prefix, a starting number and number padding from 1 to 8 digits; each file keeps its original extension. With the defaults, the first file becomes file-001 followed by its extension, and your original files stay unchanged.

## Questions (en)

### How do I batch rename photos to a numbered sequence?

Select the photos, set a prefix such as holiday, a starting number and padding. With padding of 3 and a start of 1, names become holiday-001.jpg, holiday-002.jpg and so on, numbered in the order of the file list.

### Does the batch renamer change the files on my computer?

No. It creates renamed copies inside a ZIP archive called renamed-files.zip. The originals keep their names, so you extract the ZIP wherever you want the renamed versions.

### Can I start numbering at zero or a high number?

Yes. The starting number accepts any whole number from 0 to 1,000,000. Padding adds leading zeros up to the chosen width, from 1 to 8 digits, which keeps files sorted correctly in most file managers.
