A lightweight desktop application for quickly renaming images, videos, and audio files using customizable tags and modifier labels.
Designed for people who manually organize large collections of media, Media Tagger minimizes repetitive tasks by letting you preview each file, apply a tag with a single key press, and instantly move to the next one.
- Open a folder containing your media files.
- Preview each image, video, or audio file.
- Select any modifier labels you want to append.
- Press the corresponding tag shortcut.
- The file is instantly renamed and the next file is loaded automatically.
The resulting filename follows this format:
<Tag><Modifier1><Modifier2>...<extension>
