Summary：File organization and categorization have always been essential. When managing different file formats across multiple folders, adding the same prefix or suffix to filenames makes it easier to handle them. We can quickly identify file types and content based on prefixes and suffixes, helping us easily locate files and accurately categorize them into corresponding folders. When dealing with a large number of files, adding consistent prefixes and suffixes makes files more identifiable at a glance, eliminating the tedious work of organizing and categorizing. Below, we'll introduce how to quickly batch add the same prefix and suffix text or numbers to filenames of word, ppt, excel, pdf, and txt format files across multiple folders.
1、Usage Scenarios
Add the same text, numbers, symbols, etc., to the beginning or end of the file name. When the number of files is large, batch addition is also supported.
For example: apple.word, banana.pdf, orange.pptx
You need to add hello- to the left side of the file name and -2025 to the right side.
After adding, it becomes hello-apple-2025.word, hello-banana-2025.pdf, hello-orange-2025.pptx
