🖼️ Image Renamer Script

This Python script recursively scans a folder and its subdirectories, identifies image files, and renames them using a standardized format (image.jpg, image_1.png, image_2.jpeg, etc.).

Features

• Recursively scans folders and subfolders
• Supports common image file types (.png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .bmp, .webp)
• Automatically renames images in each folder using a consistent naming pattern
• Skips non-image files
• Prints logs for every file processed and renamed

How It Works

1. Set the root_dir variable to the folder path you want to scan.
2. The script walks through the folder and all subfolders.
3. For every image found, it renames it to image, image_1, image_2, etc., within its respective folder.

Example

If a folder contains:

photo.jpg  
dog.png  
cat.jpeg

After running the script, it becomes:

image.jpg  
image_1.png  
image_2.jpeg

Getting Started

1. Make sure Python is installed

Run the following command to check:

python --version

If Python is not installed, download it from python.org.

2. Set the folder path in the script

Update the root_dir variable to point to your target directory:

root_dir = r'C:\Users\YourName\Desktop\your_folder'

3. Run the script

From your terminal or command prompt:

python image_renamer.py

Supported Image Formats

• .png
• .jpg
• .jpeg
• .gif
• .bmp
• .webp

Notes

• Files will be renamed in place — original filenames will be overwritten.
• Make a backup if you want to preserve the original names.
