Rename an Entire Photo Shoot with Client Name and Sequence in One Batch

Photographers delivering client galleries face the same problem after every shoot: camera-generated filenames like DSC_4291.jpg mean nothing to a client and nothing to a search engine. Deliteful's Batch Rename Files tool lets you apply a client name prefix, shoot-date suffix, and sequential counter to up to 50 images at once in a browser — no Lightroom preset required.

Professional file delivery is part of the client experience. Receiving a gallery of files named after your camera's internal counter damages the perception of polish that photographers spend thousands on gear and hours in post-production to build. Most photographers either rename files manually in Finder, pay for Lightroom just for its renaming module, or spend time setting up export presets — all of which add friction to an already long post-production workflow.

Deliteful handles JPEG, PNG, and WebP images up to 50MB each, with batches up to 50 files or 2GB total. Set a prefix like LiamAndSarah_Wedding_ and a suffix like _2025, upload your selects, and download LiamAndSarah_Wedding_1_2025.jpg through LiamAndSarah_Wedding_47_2025.jpg ready for gallery delivery. No software install, no export preset configuration — just a free account and a browser.

How it works

  1. 1

    Export or collect your selects

    Gather the final edited images you are delivering — upload order will become the numbering sequence.

  2. 2

    Set a client-name prefix

    Enter a descriptive prefix like ClientName_EventType_ that will appear at the start of every filename.

  3. 3

    Add a date or year suffix

    A suffix like _2025 or _June2025 adds date context without cluttering the prefix.

  4. 4

    Download and deliver

    Renamed copies download immediately; upload them directly to your gallery platform or send via your delivery method of choice.

Frequently asked questions

Does Deliteful support JPEG, PNG, and WebP in the same batch?
Yes. All three formats are supported and can be mixed in one batch. Each file keeps its original extension after renaming.
Can I use this instead of Lightroom's file renaming feature?
For standalone renaming, yes. Deliteful handles bulk renaming with prefix, suffix, and counter — the same core functionality. It does not handle in-catalog renaming or metadata writes, but for delivery renaming of exported files it is a direct replacement.
What is the file size limit per image?
Each image file can be up to 50MB. The batch total limit is 50 files or 2GB, whichever comes first.
