Why Use SonuPDF to Rename PDFs?
Quick Batch Renaming
Rename multiple files simultaneously. The tool extracts internal metadata and text parameters in milliseconds.
Full Private Execution
File parsing and renaming run client-side. In contrast to online upload services, your files and metadata properties never leave your local workspace.
Smart Formatting Tags
Use simple tags like {title}, {date}, {author}, or {first_page_text} to design your naming rules.
Conflict Resolution
Automatically handles identical file names by appending sequential indices to prevent data overwrite.
Frequently Asked Questions
The tool reads the internal PDF dictionary properties (metadata fields) and scans the top page text lines to build file names matching your chosen format.
No, all extraction operations run inside your browser. Your privacy remains fully protected.
You can use tags like {title} (metadata title), {author} (document creator), {creation_date} (when file was built), or {first_line} (the very first text line on page 1).
Once the files are downloaded, you cannot automatically revert to the original name via the tool. We recommend reviewing the file list preview before executing the download.
