How to Batch-Rename files in the macOS Finder
- Select files. Edit => Select All works great, since non-matching files are unaffected.
- Right click (control click) on a file and choose Rename... or use File => Rename... to bring up the file renaming dialog.
- Enter the text to replace and the text to replace it with.
- Click Rename.
If more files got renamed than you intended perhaps from a too-liberal matching text, then Undo and try again.
The Rename dialog can do more than simple text substitution, but there is no regex support and it is brain dead about formatting. But it’s still useful for some quick jobs.

I have used it for normalizing many filenames (thousands at a time) from disparate sources, along with folder names. It’s great for OCD file organization.(After using it in trial mode I was impressed enough to buy the ‘Forever Upgrade’ a number of years ago, and have benefitted ever since.)

I’ve generally avoided add-ons as I try to keep things as vanilla as possible to forestall problems. I weight the issues of cost/complexity/frequency of use before I take on new software.
