You can see different images (such as PNG, JPEG and TIFF), PDF documents, native Photoshop files (.PSD), RAW files generated by your digital camera, and almost any kind of file. Not only can you view your files, but also change the file type associations to prevent the wrong software from trying to load your asset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How to Batch Rename Files in Adobe Bridge?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Adobe Bridge has an in-house powerful photo renaming functionality. Here&#8217;s how to use it:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Open Adobe Bridge and load all the images that you want to rename.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Adobe Bridge will display a thumbnail preview of your images.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Select the first image in the role and press and hold the Shift key.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Go to the Tools menu and select Batch Rename.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. You&#8217;ll see a new dialog on your screen prompting you to enter the destination folder for renamed files.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rename in the same folder: Bridge will rename your original files in the same directory.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Move to another folder: Use this option if you want to move your files to some other folder and batch rename them. Similar to the above option, it&#8217;ll impact the original files.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Copy to another folder: We recommend this option as it does not alter your original files. Instead, Bridge copies your files to another directory of your -choice and then renames your files.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. After specifying a destination directory, it&#8217;s time to choose your file naming structure. You can use different parameters such as text, date-time, metadata, etc. Select your desired parameter, enter custom text and then enter the required details. You can also add or remove rows, as you require.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Once you&#8217;re done, click on the Preview button to see how the changes look like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How to Batch Rename Files with Easy File Renamer?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In contrast to Adobe Bridge, <a href=\"https:\/\/easyfilerenamer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Easy File Renamer<\/a> has an easy and beginner-friendly interface.
