Renaming

Rename the photos before uploading them to CoralNet to make it easier to distinguish them and to avoid duplicate filenames when we're uploading photos from multiple camera's and groups.

Metadata:

  • Partner
  • Area
  • Site
  • Season
  • Transect
  • Date
  • Photo number

For example, with the fields separated by underscores:

Rilov_Bioblitz_SK-Buoy12_Fall_1_2025-10-23_009.JPG
Rilov_Bioblitz_SK-Buoy12_Fall_1_2025-10-23_010.JPG

I don't know this tool, but some have had success using Bulk Rename Utility.
