How to Batch Rename Photos with EXIF Data on iPhone or iPad
When managing lots of photos on an iPhone or iPad, default filenames like IMG_1234 provide very little information. By using EXIF metadata, you can rename photos to include details such as the camera model, ISO, exposure, or capture date. This guide explains how to batch rename photos using EXIF data on iOS, helping you create meaningful filenames and organise large photo libraries in seconds.
Rename Using EXIF Data
Select the files you want to rename and tap the toolbar actions icon, then select "Rename (x)" from the menu.
Select the "Format" tab.
Change the Format Mode to "Exif Data".
Enter into the Format input any of the following codes in any order or tap the blue buttons to add each one to the input:
Example: OriginalName-FNumber.FocalLength = DSC_0345-f4.8-140.00mm
Tap the "Rename X Items" when you are ready.
