Fast Renamer earns its place in the aescripts library as a cross-application renamer: one license spans After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator, and the interface runs in five languages.
Fast Renamer, from Volt - Florentin Joannes, renames layers quickly across three Adobe applications: After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator. A single license covers all three platforms, and the interface is available in five languages — English, Spanish, French, Italian and Chinese.
Renaming can be shaped with prefix and suffix customization, iteration customization, and an option to keep the existing name. The tool also includes preset lists — Simple Body, Body, Hands, Character Animator and Draw — plus a custom list creation interface for building your own.
Fast Renamer supports After Effects, Illustrator and Photoshop from CC 2018 through the 2025 releases, and on Apple Silicon Macs Photoshop must be set to open using Rosetta. Version 1.5 was released on May 17, 2021. A demo video is available, and the tool is listed here as free.
Fast Renamer is best for artists renaming layers across After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator who want prefix, suffix and iteration control alongside reusable naming lists.
Fast Renamer is completely free to download and use.
Fast Renamer lists compatibility with After Effects 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, CC 2019 and CC 2018, so the 2025 release is covered. The same version range applies to Illustrator and Photoshop, since a single license spans all three Adobe applications. The entry here reflects version 1.5, released on May 17, 2021. If you're on a newer point release than those listed, check the developer's page on aescripts to confirm current support before installing.
Fast Renamer is available in five languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian and Chinese. Chinese and Italian arrived in version 1.4, alongside multilingual support introduced in earlier updates. The single license covers After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator, so the language options carry across all three Adobe applications. To confirm which language your interface defaults to or how to switch between them, the developer's page on aescripts is the place to look for the latest details.
Fast Renamer ships as one license for all three platforms, so it covers After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator rather than needing a separate license per application. All three support the same version range, from CC 2018 through the 2025 releases. That means you rename layers with the same tool whether you're working in After Effects, a Photoshop document or an Illustrator file. For details on how the shared license is issued, see the developer's page on aescripts.
Fast Renamer requires Photoshop to run under Rosetta on Apple Silicon Macs. To set that up, quit Photoshop, open your Applications folder, right-click Adobe Photoshop and choose Get Info, then check the box for Open using Rosetta and restart Photoshop. Once that's done, the tool can run inside Photoshop. This step applies to the Photoshop side specifically; for the full setup and any platform-specific notes, refer to the developer's page on aescripts.
Fast Renamer is listed here as free, so there's no cost shown to add it to your After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator workflow. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current arrangement — including how the single all-platform license is provided — check the developer's page on aescripts. That page also carries the latest version and any updates beyond the version 1.5 release recorded here, dated May 17, 2021.
