# Distill

> No more IMG_4521.jpg: your files get names that mean something.

Distill gives your files names that mean something. It reads PDFs, scans, images, Office documents and emails, suggests a descriptive file name and shows you the change before anything is renamed. Rules and templates set the date format, casing and separators. If you like, it watches folders and renames new files in the background, or you rename with a right-click in Finder. Every rename can be undone.

By default the analysis runs through Distill Cloud. The version from our website also works with your own Claude, OpenAI or Gemini key, or entirely on your Mac with Ollama, and it offers a REST API and MCP tools so AI assistants can rename files for you.

100 names free, then from €1.99 per 100. No subscription, no sign-up.
