Zush - AI File Renamer

Zush is an AI-powered file renaming and organization utility for Windows PCs. Instead of changing filenames only through fixed patterns, counters, prefixes, or suffixes, it analyzes the actual content of each file and produces a descriptive, searchable name.



The software supports 107 file formats, including PDF documents, Office files, images, RAW photos, ebooks, audio recordings, videos, subtitles, and design projects.

Users can combine extracted information, metadata, dates, counters, and custom instructions through more than 145 Naming Blocks.

Zush AI File Renamer & Batch Renamer is particularly valuable for organizing invoices, scanned documents, screenshots, photographs, contracts, voice recordings, and large download folders.

Files remain in their original locations, while every suggested name can be reviewed before changes are applied.

Processing can run through Zush Cloud AI, a personal API key, LM Studio, or Ollama.

The local options provide greater privacy and can work offline after a compatible model has been configured.

User Interface

Zush presents a clean, modern interface built around a simple file-selection and preview workflow.



Files, naming rules, generated results, templates, monitored folders, and activity history are separated into understandable areas.

Naming Blocks make complex filename structures easier to assemble without scripts or regular expressions.

However, the number of available blocks and AI configurations may initially feel excessive to users who only need basic sequential renaming.

The installation is automatic and does not require a traditional setup wizard.

After launching the app, users can begin with the included Cloud AI allowance without registration or payment.

Advanced users may connect an API key or configure LM Studio or Ollama for local processing.

FAQs

Is Zush free?
