About

In the digital age, file hygiene is not merely aesthetic; it is a critical component of data integrity and workflow efficiency. Disorganized file naming conventions lead to retrieval latency, version control errors, and systemic entropy. This tool acts as a deterministic transformation engine, mapping a set of chaotic input filenames Fin to a structured, semantic output set Fout.

Unlike server-side tools, this application operates entirely within your browser's local sandbox using the DOM File API. This ensures zero latency and absolute privacy - your data never leaves your machine. Whether you are a developer normalizing asset names with RegEx or a photographer serializing thousands of raw images, this engine provides the logic depth required for professional batch processing.

Formulas

The renaming process follows a strict transformation pipeline function T applied to each filename x:

{
x' = Case(Sub(x)) + Siwhere Si is the serialization index

The serialization index Si is calculated as:

i × step + startpadded to N digits

If a collision occurs where x'a = x'b, a conflict resolution delta δ is appended to preserve uniqueness.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The entire process uses the HTML5 File API and Blob storage within your browser's memory. No data is ever transmitted over the network.
The tool uses JavaScript's native RegEx engine. You can use capture groups (e.g., $1, $2) in the "Replace" field to rearrange parts of the filename dynamically.
The system employs a collision detection algorithm. If two files resolve to the same name, a counter (e.g., _1, _2) is automatically appended to the subsequent files to prevent data loss.
Yes, but performance depends on your device's RAM. The tool creates a ZIP archive in memory, so for very large batches (>500MB total), it is recommended to process in smaller chunks to avoid browser crash.
