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".

Tap the "Rename X Items" when you are ready.
