Rename rules: Rules include pattern search and replace, text substitutions, counters, dates, and parent-folder names.
Metadata: Replacement patterns can use image EXIF/IPTC, audio tags, and video metadata.
Batch tools: It supports recursive traversal, extension handling, sidecar groups, drag and drop, saved presets, and undo for the last rename batch.
