Rename Bulk Photos


  • First, open the folder containing the pictures you want to rename and select View > Large Icons
  • Click the last picture in the folder you want to rename, hold down the Shift key, and click the first picture; this will select them all.
  • Right-click the first photo, and select Rename from the drop-down menu.
  • Windows will highlight the filename for the first photo, enabling you to give it a descriptive name.
  • After you type in the name, click the white space outside of the photo and watch as Windows applies the name with a sequential number to each picture in the folder.


As an example: you want to rename 5 photos. The name is Beach. The five photos will be named beach(1), beach(2), beach(3) and so on.
