Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about renaming files with AI.

What is FilesDesk?

FilesDesk is an AI file renamer for Mac and Windows. It reads the content of your files — photos, PDFs, invoices, screenshots, and more — and generates clean, descriptive, searchable filenames automatically.

How does AI file renaming work?

Drag your files into FilesDesk and click Rename. It reads each file's content using OCR for scanned PDFs, EXIF metadata for photos, text extraction for documents, and AI vision for images, then generates a descriptive name automatically.

Is FilesDesk free?

Yes — FilesDesk includes a free tier with 15 credits, no credit card required. Paid plans start at $8/month, or choose the $40 one-time Lifetime license for unlimited local AI (Ollama) or bring-your-own-key use.

What file types can FilesDesk rename?

FilesDesk supports documents (PDF, DOC, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, RTF), text & data files (TXT, MD, CSV), images (JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG), audio (MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, M4A), and video (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM). See the full supported formats list for details.

Does FilesDesk work offline, and is my data private?

Yes. FilesDesk can run entirely offline using local AI like Ollama, LM Studio, or vLLM — your files never leave your device. You can also use cloud AI providers like OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini for faster processing.

What's the difference between Subscription and Lifetime plans?

Subscription plans ($8–$20/month) include FilesDesk's managed AI credits with no setup required. The $40 Lifetime license is a one-time purchase for using your own API keys or local AI, with no recurring fees.

Is FilesDesk available for Mac and Windows?

Yes, FilesDesk runs natively on both macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows 10/11.

What's your refund policy?

Lifetime licenses come with a 3-day money-back guarantee. Subscriptions can be canceled anytime, and you can keep using your credits until the end of your billing period.

Can I use my own prompts?

Yes. Just tell FilesDesk in plain English how you want files named — for example, pull the vendor, invoice number, and date out of a receipt. Prefer not to write your own? Use one of the built-in templates instead.

Can FilesDesk rename files based on metadata?

Yes. The built-in Photo Archive template names your photos using camera details like the date taken and camera model. If you write your own naming instructions, you can pull in that same information for any file type.
