    The best IMHO: easy to use with all options immediately at your disposal. Allowed me to rename many files on OneDrive without downloading first online-only files, as other renamers did! Just one negative thing: English only.

Some appreciate its extensive functionality and capability to handle complex renaming tasks, especially with a single-window interface and preview options. It's praised for supporting unicode file names and offering direct context menu access.

Not open-source, but still worth trying

Please note that recently developer removed earlier all versions and the changelog didn't show anything special. It was fishy, so I checked it and developer changed license for stricter. Because that change I can't use it anymore. I'm ok with the fact of different license - it's his software. But he did it in shady way and that's not good. Remember, when changelog is weirdly empty, then big things happen :)

Messy but fast to use UI, but not completely free as advertised. In 2024 June, latest free version 3.4.4.0 has limitations, JavaScript renaming is limited to paid version, and free version also shows annoying banner ad in lower right corner.
