Read guide →Organize files, convert images and rename in bulk
Renaming a file does not convert its contents. Treat naming and format conversion as separate tasks instead of changing an extension and expecting a different format.

- Preview old and new names before a batch rename, checking collisions and extension changes.
- Choose an image or archive format based on transparency requirements and the recipient’s software.
