ExifRenamer = Tool every mac+digital_camera should have.

I’ve struggled with managing thousands of digital photos like everyone else.  And no, I’m not a professional photographer but I like taking many photos to get that one I will like.  When I first got my digital camera a few years ago I was happy that I could take as many pictures I wanted without worrying about paying for developing them.  What I didn’t expect was the ‘cost’ of storing/organizing the many digital photos.  I’ve tried different methods to organize them and I basically came to the conclusion that you need to keep the digital photo in a filename that matches the data/time it was taken.  Unfortunately digital cameras themselves so far seem to lack that feature, which means the files need to be renamed after they have been downloaded to the Mac. And you obviously need a software to automatically rename the files.

And that software would be, ExifRenamer.  It’s a Mac software that’s free and really good at what it does.

When you drag a directory of photos onto the ExifRenamer, it will rename them all in this format:  YYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm-ss.jpg.  You can change the format if you like.  You need to make sure the digital camera was set to correct local time though for this solution to work.

Here’s where you can download the free software.

It can also rename video clips.  ExifRenamer correctly renames video clips taken with my small digital camera, Canon SD790 IS.

Don’t download digital photos onto your mac without ExifRenamer.
