Built for auctioneers

Why APR?

APR reads your barcode images to identify each lot, then renames all following photos for that lot automatically. It’s designed for real auction workflows—fast batches, clean logs, and filenames marketplaces like LiveAuctioneers/Proxibid expect.

  • Deterministic JPEG processing (.jpg/.jpeg)
  • Duplicate-barcode logic (same-lot barcode counted as a photo)
  • Lot code validation (digits, length 1–6)
  • Live progress bar, counters, cancel mid-run
  • Open-folder shortcut + scrollable runtime log

APR works locally. It does not upload your photos anywhere.

How it works

Point. Read. Rename.

  1. Select the starting image in your shoot.
  2. APR reads the next barcode photo to get the lot #.
  3. Subsequent images are renamed to that lot until the next barcode.
  4. See progress + a running log; cancel any time.
  5. Check the output folder when it’s done.

Optional: install a small sample set to try it in 30 seconds.

FAQ

Is APR an “app” or a “program”?

Both. It’s a Windows desktop program (you’ll see us call it an app or a program interchangeably).

Does it change my photos?

No—APR renames files and can write a simple log. It doesn’t edit image pixels.

What files are supported?

JPEG (.jpg/.jpeg) in deterministic order. Other formats may be added later.

Will it run on Windows XP?

No—APR targets modern Windows. If you truly need XP, contact us.
