Where Transnomino shines
It's free with regex and metadata included, and it can turn a photo's GPS position into a street, city and country for the file name. For a free app it covers a lot.
Why pick Batch File Renamer
Every rename is checked before anything moves: duplicates, illegal characters and names that are too long are flagged in the preview. The last batch can be undone even after you quit and reopen the app.
Pro adds a command-line tool that shares presets with the app, CSV renaming, setting file dates in the same run, and on-device AI naming from image or PDF content.
