Photo Combine

If you own more than one camera, you may encounter file name conflicts if you dump all photos into one folder. To solve this issue fast, you can use Photo Combine to rename the files. It's not a traditional renaming utility, but it lets you modify the creation date of your pictures and add camera names to your files, to make it clear which pictures came from one camera on another.

You can have Photo Combine up and running on your computer in just a few seconds. Its setup file is small and the installation process is quick and doesn't involve any complicated configurations. The application works on all modern Windows systems, without requiring any special tools or services.

Editing file names with Photo Combine is quite easy. Once you run the application, it will immediately ask you for the location of a photos folder. Imported pictures are presented in a list, along with their original and new names, as well as messages, if there are issues that require your attention. You can select one or more files by ticking their checkboxes, after which you may choose an action on a toolbar.

The application lets you adjust the "Time Taken" entry of your pictures, by minutes, hours or days, and you can also add camera nicknames to each item. What's more, Photo Combine can be set to perform these actions on all loaded photos, on selected files or on photos that come from a specific camera.

When you're satisfied with your edited names, you can decide to apply them directly on the original files or create copies of the files and store them in a different location. The process is effortless and instantaneous, so you won't have to do any waiting before your files are renamed.

Thanks to Photo Combine, you will never have to deal with any naming conflicts if your cameras save your photos with the same name.
