Can I rename a mixed set of PDFs and Word documents in one batch?

Yes. Deliteful accepts PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, images, and other common formats in the same batch. Each file retains its original extension — only the base filename changes.

Will my original files be overwritten or modified?

No. The tool creates renamed copies for download. Your original uploaded files are never altered. This makes the tool safe to use on production documents.

What is the maximum number of files I can rename at once?

You can process up to 50 files per batch, with a total batch size limit of 2GB. For most exhibit sets or closing binder tabs, a single batch is sufficient.

Can I continue numbering from a previous batch — for example, starting at Exhibit 48?

Yes. The starting counter field accepts any number from 1 to 999,999, so you can pick up exactly where a previous batch left off.

Batch File Renaming for Paralegals: Consistent Document Naming at Scale

Paralegals managing discovery productions, deposition exhibits, or closing binders often receive files with chaotic naming conventions — scanner outputs, client dumps, or opposing counsel productions with names like IMG_0047.pdf or doc_final_FINAL2.docx. Deliteful's Batch Rename Files tool lets you apply a consistent prefix, suffix, and sequential counter to an entire file set in one pass, producing renamed copies ready for binder assembly or electronic filing.

Inconsistent file naming is more than a cosmetic problem in legal work. Exhibits submitted with arbitrary names create indexing errors, confuse court clerks, and waste billable time on manual renaming. A deposition exhibit set that should read Exhibit_001.pdf through Exhibit_047.pdf instead arrives as a mix of scanner outputs and email attachments with no logical order. Renaming forty files one at a time in Windows Explorer or Finder is a fifteen-minute task that should take fifteen seconds.

Deliteful processes up to 50 files per batch, creating renamed copies while leaving originals untouched — so your source files are never overwritten. Set a prefix like Exhibit_, a suffix like _Smith_v_Jones, and a starting counter of 1, and every uploaded file becomes Exhibit_1_Smith_v_Jones.pdf, Exhibit_2_Smith_v_Jones.pdf, and so on. The tool accepts PDF, DOCX, XLSX, and a wide range of other formats, so mixed exhibit sets can be renamed in a single operation.

How it works

Enter a prefix (e.g. Exhibit_) and optional suffix (e.g. _Smith_v_Jones) that match your filing or binder convention.
3
Set the starting counter
Choose your starting number — useful if you are continuing a previously numbered exhibit set.

Download renamed copies
Deliteful generates renamed copies; originals are never modified. Download the full set ready for filing or binder assembly.
