How to batch rename images in a folder, but not in serial as previously?

Hello,

What I've?

I've these 1000 images in a folder, named in serial as Image0001.jpg, Image0002.jpg, Image0003.jpg till Image Image1000.jpg

What I want to do?

1. I want to rename these files RANDOMLY.

2. By randomly I mean to rename files by SHUFFLING them.

3. Like, after I rename these files, they SHOULD NOT be placed in serial as they were before. Like, Image0001.jpg should be renamed something randomly like dsderds.jpg and Image0002.jpg should be renamed like anything like iigtkde.jpg, so that Image0001.jpg and Image0002.jpg which previously were side-by-side, now should be RANDOMLY away. And this action should do this RANDOM process on all 1000 images. So I want to shuffle and rename.

I hope that you get the idea. Solution is much needed.

Is it possible in Photoshop?

Hello All,

I guess I've found the tool which provides what I was looking for exactly. It's called Ant Renamer

      Shuffle, rename but also change the document name for each one? Not natively within Photoshop or Bridge.

      What operating system are you on? Here's a way to use Terminal on a Mac to do it:

      Terminal Tips: Generate random filenames for digital photo frame images

      And a script for Windows:

      Work on a copy of the original folder/

        Barb, you got it exactly right about what I am looking for. I am using Windows 10 platform so I guess first resolution you provided(for MAC) is not for me.

        About second option, I had come across it and tried it as well but nothing happened. May be I did something wrong! I will try it again though.

        Just incase you come across any other tool/software for Windows platform please let me know.. I badly need solution for this.

        There are third-party file-naming software options that will allow you use an excel sheet to pair the names you want with the existing names, and then apply the remaining automatically. 

        The one I use is called A Better Finder Rename, but I'm sure there are others that would do the same job.


        Hello SJRiegel A Better Finder Rename tool is only for Mac OS, while I'm looking one for Windows 10 platform.

        I would rather take Bridge. If I understood you the right way, you want to look at the image and then decide what name to give.

        Hello,

        I tried Bridge.. it does great for 'Batch Rename' but in a systematic and serial manner, while I am looking for random renaming tool/solution.
