Rename photos in Google Drive using the date they were actually taken
Camera exports and phone backups leave you with folders full of IMG_0001.jpgstyle names. Drive File Renamer can bulk rename photos in Google Drive using real EXIF data — date taken, camera model, dimensions — pulled straight from each image, not the date it was uploaded.
Rename by date taken (EXIF)
Pick Date taken in the metadata rule and every photo is renamed using the date its camera or phone recorded when the shutter was pressed — not the date it landed in Drive. Photos shot on different days in the same folder get their own correct date automatically.
Or renumber a photo sequence
Shooting order matters more than date for some jobs — event photos, product shots, a burst sequence. Sequential numbering renames every selected photo in order with leading zeros, so a folder of identical photo.jpg names becomes an ordered set in one pass.
Works on a whole photo folder at once, subfolders included
Select the parent album folder instead of individual photos and every image inside it — at any nesting depth, including Shared Drive folders — is pulled in automatically. Preview shows every photo's current name next to what it would become before anything is written to Drive, and every applied batch can be undone with one click for the last 20 runs. See thefull rule list or the step-by-step guide for everything else the app can do.
