Hello everyone,

I’m dealing with thousands of images with confusing, auto-generated names like ‘IMG_1234’ and ‘DSC_5678’ that are difficult to sort or locate when needed. I’m looking for a reliable way to rename all of them in a clear and consistent format in batches on my PC. Ideally, I’d like to be able to:

Add prefixes, suffixes, or specific titles to groups of images.Insert sequential numbering for easy organization.Possibly keep some metadata intact, like the date and location, if available.

I’ve tried renaming some images manually, but with such a large collection, it’s just not practical. I’d really appreciate any advice on Windows software, scripts, or built-in features that can batch rename images in Windows. Ease of use and batch processing speed would be a big plus!

Thanks for the help!
