Picnam is a simple way to manage digital photos and other images. It allows you to easily rename photos so they are easy to find, and allows you to record information about the image in a related text file.

Renaming an image is as simple as typing the new name and pressing Enter. No right clicking, double clicking or navigating through menus is required. You don't need to type the extension - it is added automatically.
A drop down list allows you to recall and edit a previous name when you are giving several photos similar names.
The image is shown as large as possible so you can see details. You can click on the image to enlarge it to full size to check fine detail.

Add Text

You can record information about an image, which is saved in a text file with the same name. Data in text files can be used from most programs and read and edited on any system without special software. You can record large amounts of information, and create templates if you need to insert the same data for multiple pictures. Picnam moves, copies and renames the text file at the same time as the image.

Bulk Rename

Multiple pictures can be renamed at the same time using the Bulk Rename function. The new name can be a simple name, or you can create a pattern to include the photo date and time in various formats (including the day of the week), parts of the old name, incrementing numbers and a counter.
