Namexif is a handy desktop utility tool developed by Digicamsoft. This software allows you to rename your photo or video files according to the default EXIF information. EXIF data contains a set of related details like coordinates as well as the date when it was taken or recorded by the camera. Using these details and information, you can alter the file name of your photos and videos. It is a lightweight program that is available for free.

Intuitive and configurable

At first launch, a setup assistant will be there for you to lead and introduce you to whole menu operations. Once done with the introduction, this tool will immediately require you to add the files you want to rename. You can either drag it to the main windows, individually import it through a built-in browse dialog, or select an entire folder directory that contains the pictures and videos you aim to rename.

Obtained files will be shown in a list and you can filter and remove those that you don’t want to include. Bear in mind that Namexif only supports file formats such as JPG, JPEG, REB, RIP, GIF, BMP, and PNG. On the other hand, this powerful software also authorizes you to slightly configure a set of parameters. Although, some of it needs to be customized manually as only a few details are seized from EXIF data.

Once you're done customizing the name format, you just need to click ‘Next’ in order to process all files instantly. You must double-check if the changes you did are in order and if the EXIF data are written down correctly. This tool will immediately gather all the corresponding fields however, there's a high possibility that you wouldn't be gratified with the result. The type of data selection it provides is quite poor resulting in mediocre output also.

Easy but, results should be improved

Namexif is a pretty intuitive tool to process multiple photos and video files and rename them. Thanks to the wizard assistant it provides, you would never be lost or stuck in the midst of renaming progress. Most of the common file formats are supported here so, you won't need to bother yourself with converting. On top of that, its parameters are highly customizable although, some of them require to be altered manually.
