What’s a good way to name scanned documents for later search?

A practical approach involves incorporating key identifiers like the document’s core subject, creation date, and type into each filename. For example, "Contract_VendorName_2023-04.pdf" instantly conveys purpose and relevance. Prioritize consistency across all files—using a fixed structure such as "Category_Description_Date" ensures predictable search results. Avoid vague labels like "Scan1.pdf" that lack context, as they hinder quick retrieval and force manual inspection.

Wisfile automates this process by leveraging local AI recognition to analyze your documents' content and extract essential details without internet access. It then applies your custom naming templates via batch renaming, generating descriptive filenames based on detected keywords. All processing occurs directly on your device, ensuring privacy protection since files never leave your computer, and temporary data is wiped post-task. As a completely free tool, it eliminates manual effort while maintaining security and efficiency.
