Rename a batch of files as you convert
Phone photos come with names like IMG_20260814_174512. S Converter can give the new files tidy names while it converts them, like Holiday-001, Holiday-002, and so on.
Rename while converting
- Drop your files into S Converter and pick a format.
- Under Edit on the right, press Rename.
- Type a pattern, for example
Holiday-{n}. The preview shows the new names. - Press Use these names, then Convert.
Pattern pieces
{n} is the file’s number: 001, 002, 003. {date} is when the photo was taken (from the camera), or the file’s date, as 2026-08-14. {name} is the original name. Mix them with your own words: {date} Beach {n} gives 2026-08-14 Beach 001. The + Name, + Number and + Date buttons add them for you.
Good to know
Originals keep their names
Only the new, converted files get the pattern.
Sorted correctly
Numbers are padded (001, 002), so files sort in order everywhere.
Real photo dates
{date} reads when the photo was taken, not when it was copied.
