This Mac utility comes in handy if you wish to replace the text content or the filenames of your documents with minimum effort. The application has a straightforward interface, supports batch processing, and works really fast without slowing down the performance of your computer.
MassReplaceIt allows you to create your own output profiles and save them for later in case you need to reuse them on a different set of files. You need to complete several steps in order to replace text content or filenames. The first thing you need to do is to fill the Find and Replace fields; you can add extra fields if necessary. Afterwards, you need to select the files you wish to alter and configure several output settings.
In my testing, the application worked flawlessly. It immediately made the necessary changes and used minimum CPU resources in the process.
A very important advantage is that it can back up the text content and filenames. This feature comes in handy if you ever change your mind about the changes.
Another thing I like about working with this application is that it helps you easily change file extensions.
To summarize, MassReplaceIt is an efficient Mac tool that provides you with a simple and quick way to rename documents on your computer. In addition, you don't have to pay a buck to use it on your Mac.
