Tag Rename 3.9.8 — Install & Portable (Feature Overview)

Direct Execution

: Since it is portable, simply extract the downloaded archive to your preferred folder (or USB drive) and run the primary executable file ( TagRename.exe ).

Tag Rename is a professional batch file renamer that reads metadata (tags) from within files to rename the files themselves. Unlike basic rename tools that only see the file name string, Tag Rename reads ID3 tags (MP3), EXIF data (JPEG/RAW), and Video metadata (AVI/MP4).

Example for Video (Episode naming):

Show Name - S01E[%E] - [%N]

Step 3: Building the Rename String (The "Auto Name" Tab)

No Registry Footprint:

The portable version is ideal for users who want to keep their system clean or move between multiple PCs. Cons:

  1. VideoHelp.com – Maintains a clean archive of older software.
  2. PortableApps.com – Unofficial but scanned portable build.
  3. MajorGeeks.com – Offers both installer and portable with verified hashes.
