Why we like it

Earns its place in the Superhive library for pairing batch renaming and sorting with a preview step and a one-click name backup.

What is Blender Batch Renamer & Sorter?

Blender Batch Renamer & Sorter is an add-on for Blender built around naming and organizing objects. It renames objects in batch and sorts them by multiple criteria with one click, and a visual name preview shows all name changes before they're applied, so you can review the result first.

The intelligent naming system auto-detects object types and applies matching prefixes such as MSH_ and CAM_, while name validation and auto-correction keeps names within Blender's conventions. Prefix and suffix options, sequential numbering, and case conversion are available, along with find & replace that previews changes before committing them. Advanced preset management lets you save complete naming strategies, and an original name backup restores previous names with one click.

Collection Order Management maintains consistent object order in collections, and batch processing stays aware of scene hierarchy with multi-object selection support. The add-on is integrated in the sidebar, right-click menu, and keyboard shortcuts. It supports Blender versions 2.8 through 4.4 and is released under the GPL license.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does Blender Batch Renamer & Sorter support?

Blender Batch Renamer & Sorter supports Blender versions 2.8 through 4.4, covering a wide span of releases from the 2.8 series up to 4.4. If you're on a version within that range, the add-on is intended to work with your setup. For versions outside that window, or to confirm the latest supported release, check the developer's page before installing so you know it matches the Blender build you're running.

Where can I access Blender Batch Renamer & Sorter inside Blender?

Blender Batch Renamer & Sorter is integrated at several points in Blender's interface. You can reach it from the sidebar, the right-click menu, and through keyboard shortcuts, so you can trigger renaming and sorting from whichever entry point fits your current task. Having these multiple access points means the tool stays available while you work rather than being tucked behind a single menu each time you need to rename or reorganize objects.

Can I undo renames made with Blender Batch Renamer & Sorter?

Blender Batch Renamer & Sorter includes an original name backup that lets you restore previous names with one click, acting as a safety net if a rename isn't what you wanted. On top of that, the visual name preview shows all name changes before they're applied, and find & replace previews changes before committing them, so you can review results ahead of time instead of discovering issues only after the fact.

Is Blender Batch Renamer & Sorter free?

Blender Batch Renamer & Sorter is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and pricing can change over time and can vary by where you get the add-on, so for the current terms it's best to check the developer's page directly before downloading. That page is also the right place to confirm what's included and any conditions attached to using or distributing the add-on.

What license does Blender Batch Renamer & Sorter use?

Blender Batch Renamer & Sorter is released under the GPL license. That governs how the add-on can be used, modified, and shared, and it's the same licensing family used widely across Blender add-ons. If the licensing terms matter for your workflow or distribution plans, review the details on the developer's page so you understand the specific obligations that come with the GPL before building it into your pipeline.
