Auto Rename PDF
Rename PDF files from what is inside them and turn scan_0042.pdf into a name you can find. Several files at once, all processed in your browser.
How to rename PDF
Drop one or many PDFs into the box.
Check the suggested names.
Download the renamed files. Several come as one ZIP.
Rename PDF files based on content
Each file is named after its document title when it has a real one. When the title is missing or generic, the largest text on the first page is used instead, which is usually the heading.
You see every new name before downloading.
Bulk rename without touching the files
Drop a whole folder of downloads and get them back as a ZIP with readable names. Only the file names change; the PDFs themselves are left as they were. Scanned files have no text to read, so run OCR PDF on them first. To set the title that renaming uses, edit it in the PDF Metadata Editor.

Frequently asked questions
How do I rename PDF files automatically?
Drop the PDFs here. Each one gets a name from its title or its largest first-page text, and you download them renamed.
Can I rename multiple PDF files at once?
Yes. Drop as many as you like and download them together as a ZIP.
Does renaming change the PDF?
No. Only the file name changes. The content is untouched.
Where does the new name come from?
From the document title if it has a real one, otherwise from the largest text on the first page.
Why did a scanned PDF not get a good name?
A scan is an image with no text to read. Make it searchable with OCR PDF and try again.
