Open tool →Why we built these tools
FilesDesk is an AI-powered file renamer for Mac and Windows that reads what's inside your files — PDF text, photo subjects, EXIF, dates — and gives them clean, descriptive names automatically. These free browser tools share the same DNA: files never leave your device, and they cover the most common file-handling tasks people search for online.
Use them as much as you like, no signup. When you outgrow what a browser can do — thousands of files, nested folders, in-place renaming, AI by content — the FilesDesk desktop app picks up where these leave off.
Frequently asked questions
Are these tools really free?
Yes. Every tool listed here is free, with no signup, no watermarks and no upload limits beyond what your browser can hold in memory.
Are my files uploaded?
No. All tools run as JavaScript in your browser. Your files stay on your device. The same privacy approach as the FilesDesk desktop app.
What's the difference between these tools and FilesDesk?
These are pattern-based tools — they follow rules you set or extract metadata that already exists. FilesDesk is AI-based: it reads the content of each file (PDF text, photo subject, invoice numbers) and generates clean filenames automatically. It also works on thousands of files at once and renames in place.
Will you build more tools?
Yes — we're adding new tools regularly. Suggestions welcome at filesdesk.app/contact.
