FolioSort Feature
FolioSort's Rename module reads EXIF metadata from every file and renames it exactly as you specify. Use simple tokens, write regex patterns with capture groups, or choose from 7 pre-built naming strategies. A live preview shows every result before a single file is touched.
Pick the approach that fits your workflow. Every strategy shows a live preview of the final filename.
Rename files using the EXIF date taken: 2026-05-03_143022.jpg or 2026-05_wedding.jpg. Supports custom separators, time precision, and date format ordering.
Use {Camera}, {Lens}, {ISO}, {Aperture}, and {ShutterSpeed} tokens in filename patterns. Ideal for multi-camera shoots where you need to identify the source body at a glance.
Write a find pattern and a replacement with capture group references ($1, $2). Turn IMG_4523.jpg into 4523_holiday.jpg with a single regex. Live match count updates as you type. Back-reference validation catches non-existent groups before any rename runs.
Add an auto-incrementing counter to any pattern: holiday_001.jpg, holiday_002.jpg. Control the starting number, padding width, and step size. Counters reset per folder or run continuously across the entire batch.
Add text to the start or end of existing filenames without changing the rest. Useful for adding a client name, shoot location, or project code to hundreds of files at once.
Rename files to a new destination without touching originals. Produces a renamed copy while leaving the source folder intact — ideal for client delivery or archive creation.
Scan your folder and see the before → after filename for every file in the list. Nothing renames until you press Start.
The Wizard walks you through choosing a naming pattern, picking your folder, and previewing results — step by step.
