DownloadRenamer cleans up the filenames you already deal with every day. It is designed to make downloaded files recognizable later, not just neat in the moment.

Core features

Simple first. Custom when needed.

Templates

Use {date}, {title}, {hostname}, {original}, and {ext} to build your own naming pattern.

Per-domain rules

Apply different filename patterns and folder destinations for different websites when the default pattern is not enough.

Local-only

Nothing is sent to a backend. Settings and recent history stay inside Chrome storage on the device.

Privacy and permissions

Small scope. Clear reasons.

DownloadRenamer does not collect, transmit, or store any user data externally. Filename generation happens locally, and settings stay in Chrome storage.

No third-party ads or trackers
