## What is Prename Photo?

[Features]
(1) Set the file name of the photo in advance (custom name)
(2) When you take a picture,
(3) Save it with the set file name + sequential number.

・The file name is set in advance, so you don't have to rename the photo!
・Only the year, month, and date (yymmdd) are used, and the hours, minutes, and seconds (hhmmss) are omitted for easy viewing!
・Free to rename with only the shooting date, change the name with only the original name or serial number, or any combination like original name + serial number!
・For those who do not need to modify up to the exif!

In such a situation：
・I would like to manage invoices, receipts, invoices, and receipts in accordance with the Electronic Bookkeeping Law.
・For a photographer who takes hundreds of photos a day.
・Went on a trip, but can't remember which shrine this komainu (guardian lion-dog) was at?
・An influencer who aggressively posts photos on social media.
・The camera has a strong quirk, resulting in strange file names.
・Want to take photos of similar products for work, such as for a product catalog.
・A consultant who takes photos of land and buildings for real estate purposes.
・Just joined a bird-watching society but have trouble identifying different species of birds.
・Went mushroom picking led by a senior, but can't distinguish between edible and poisonous mushrooms.
・Owns many cats and is considering organizing them by taking photos, especially since the number has exceeded 100.
・Caught various fish like iwana (char), yamame (landlocked salmon), and rainbow trout, but not sure which is which!

### 3/5 — It works… But…

*2025-10-30*

The app is very simple. It works for file renaming I want to do by allowing date_custom text_number sequence… but it does not synch to Iphone 16 pro camera. You have to use the camera from within the app, and it limits the camera functions significantly.  Also you have to click “use photo” for each photo taken. So you cannot do rapid shots. Not practical for action etc…

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, on iOS it isn’t possible to directly control the iPhone’s native camera. As you pointed out, this app doesn’t support continuous shooting. We tried several approaches, but couldn’t find a way to achieve burst mode like the standard camera.

### 4/5 — Windows Import Issue

*2025-06-05*

This seems to be the only app to pre-name photos, but there is an issue when importing into windows: the image file name gets lost and replaced with a random name. Another comment mentioned this issue as well, hopefully there’s a fix since I can’t import to Windows with this.

**Developer response:** Hi, can you try to download images from the "download" button on the top right?
Plugging in phone to PC directly cannot stay file name.

### 4/5 — Update

*2024-06-18*

Almost perfect. Unfortunately it still won’t bring the picture over to windows with the correct name. Updated to 4 stars because the developer is awesome and took time to try to fix the issue. Thank you!

#######

I sent you a message via “App Support”.

The issue is that after I rename the photos, I import them (hundreds of them at a time) via a cord directly between an iPhone (running latest update) and a windows computer (also up-to-date), the naming is lost and replaced with jibberish.

**Developer response:** Thank you for checking. Can you tell me which iPhone and iOS version you use?
If possible, can you contact me via "App Support"?

### 5/5 — Straightforward

*2024-04-20*

simple to use and to the point.

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Excellent app for me.

*2024-02-23*

**Developer response:** Thank you for your request.
We have responded to it in this update.
Please give it a try.
