Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ZipRenamer
Is it free?
Yes! ZipRenamer is 100% free during beta. All features including pattern variables, advanced scoping, and unlimited files are available at no cost.
How is this different from extracting my ZIP?
When you extract a ZIP, you're creating thousands of files on disk, which takes time and uses storage. ZipRenamer processes your archive in-memoryβwe read the structure, apply renames, and build a new ZIP without ever writing files to disk. It's faster, safer, and requires zero cleanup.
Can I rename folders too?
Absolutely! Use the "All Folders" scope or target specific folder names. You can rename both files AND folders in the same rule group, or create separate rules for each.
Is my data secure?
Your files never leave your computer. We process everything client-side in your browser. The ZIP is briefly uploaded to our server for renaming, then immediately deleted. We don't store, log, or have any access to your file contents. GDPR compliant.
Do I need to install anything?
No installation required. ZipRenamer runs entirely in your browser. Just visit the site, drop your ZIP, and start renaming. Works on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
What are pattern variables?
Pattern variables let you build dynamic filenames using placeholders:
- {name} - original filename
- {index} - sequential number (001, 002...)
- {parent} - parent folder name
- {date} - current date (YYYY-MM-DD)
- {ext} - file extension
- {depth} - folder depth level
