What this file tool does

The generator keeps file contents untouched and creates a CSV mapping from each original name to a sanitized backup version name.

The result is calculated from actual file bytes or metadata supplied by your browser.

Processing is local. Browser memory, file permissions, format variants, and device performance can limit very large jobs.

Supported inputs and limits

This tool accepts files to name. Unsupported structures are reported rather than guessed.

Environment	Modern desktop browser
Privacy	No upload
Output	New file or auditable report

Example and practical tips

Start with a small representative set so you can confirm the options and output format. Keep the source files until the downloaded result has been tested in its intended workflow.

For backup or integrity work, store the report beside the corresponding version so later checks remain understandable.

Frequently asked questions

How do I create consistent names for backup versions?

Select files, choose a timestamp style and label, then download the generated mapping.

Does the generator rename files on my computer?

No. Browser pages cannot silently rename local files; this tool exports a name mapping.

How are duplicate generated names prevented?

Each result includes a padded sequence number in the selected-file order.

Which date does the generated name use?

It uses each file's last-modified timestamp as reported by the browser.

Are unsafe filename characters removed?

Yes. Generated components are sanitized for common desktop filesystems.
