Shell Extension Renamer

You can recognize a file type by the extension, unlike the computer does from a file's internal code structure. For safety reasons, extensions are hidden by default, so they're not changed by accident. Luckily, Shell Extension Renamer makes it possible to change the extension of any file directly from the context menu.

Key Features:

• Change file extensions directly from the context menu


• Integrates into the system seamlessly


• Does not require a restart to activate context menu integration


• Supports various popular file formats


• Allows adding custom extensions


• Speeds up the extension changing process

Technical Specifications:

• Developer: Ippokratis Giakoumis


• Price: FREE


• File Size: Available upon download


• Platform: Windows

Selecting the specific context menu item brings up a small panel with a short description of how to change the extension and where to do this. The application comes with a list of various popular file formats which range from text to multimedia, and several specialized types.

Customization:

Writing down a different extension than the ones already on the list automatically saves it for less effort later on. You are free to add any combination of characters which defines the extension you need.

Unfortunately, you are only able to change extensions for one file at a time, even if you select more files of the same type.

Conclusion:

All things considered, Shell Extension Renamer is a useful addition to your system commands. It helps out whenever you need to perform quick conversion through extension changing or various other tests. Although it only works with one file at a time, it greatly speeds up the default method, saves new entries, and provides a rich list of presets.
