AI Renamer is a desktop application that uses AI to automatically rename files based on their content. It is suitable for organizing images and documents and can generate meaningful file names.
Purpose
AI Renamer is mainly used to automatically rename files, helping users organize files efficiently. It can analyze file content and generate descriptive names for files, solving the problem of random file names being difficult to identify.
Main Capabilities
- Custom Instructions: Users can add their own instructions to guide the AI model and achieve personalized naming, including personalized naming patterns and custom format rules.
- Intelligent Recognition: Advanced AI analyzes file content to generate meaningful names, supporting image content and EXIF detection, as well as document content analysis.
- Batch Processing: Multiple files can be renamed at the same time while maintaining naming consistency. Supports a drag-and-drop interface, with previews before renaming.
- Supports Multiple File Types: Images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WEBP) and documents (PDF, TXT, and text-based files).
- Local Model Support: You can use your own AI models, with support for Ollama and LM Studio integration, as well as OpenAI and custom models, balancing flexibility and privacy.
- Cross-Platform: Provides Mac and Windows desktop applications, optimized for macOS and Windows, with a consistent user experience.
How to Use
- Local Model Setup: Download and install Ollama to run a local AI model on your computer, with no need to send files to the cloud. Use Ollama to download AI models such as Llava for image analysis and file renaming. Configure AI Renamer settings to connect to the local Ollama installation for private, offline file renaming.
- Cloud Mode: Files are processed privately in the cloud. Each rename operation consumes 1 credit. Credits never expire. The maximum file size is 10MB.
- Custom Instructions: Add instructions in the settings to guide the AI model in generating personalized file names.
- Batch Renaming: Add multiple files through the drag-and-drop interface, preview the suggested names, and then apply them.
Use Cases
- Organize large numbers of images and screenshots and give them meaningful names.
- Organize documents (such as PDF and TXT files) and automatically generate descriptive file names.
- Clean up files with random file names on the desktop and in folders.
- When batch renaming is needed andScenarios for maintaining naming consistency.
Limitations
- The maximum file size in cloud mode is 10MB.
- Each rename operation consumes 1 credit (cloud mode).
- Local mode requires installing and configuring Ollama or LM Studio.
- Some features (such as custom instructions) may depend on the model's comprehension ability and may produce low-quality suggestions.
- The specific list of supported models, pricing details, credit acquisition methods, etc. are not yet provided.
Pricing
Flexible pricing is offered: local mode is a one-time purchase, and cloud mode is pay-as-you-go credits. Local mode provides complete privacy, unlimited renaming using local models, support for all file types, and no file size limits. In cloud mode, files are processed privately in the cloud, 1 credit per rename, maximum file size 10MB, and credits never expire.
