🦊 Rename Linked Files Easily in InDesign – A Smart Script from CodeKitsune
This post is about a paid script for Adobe InDesign.
1. Introduction
Renaming linked images in Adobe InDesign can be tedious — especially when they appear in multiple documents.
To solve that, I’ve created a small script that renames and relinks files with just one prompt.
2. What the Script Does
This script automatically:
- Renames the selected linked image file
- Updates all instances of the image across open documents
- Keeps folder structure and file formats intact
It’s designed to save time and reduce mistakes during layout editing.
3. When It’s Useful
This tool is ideal for:
- Designers cleaning up image names before final delivery
- Working with reused layouts or multi-language versions
- Anyone who edits InDesign documents with linked assets regularly
4. How to Use It
1. Open your InDesign file(s)
2. Select a linked image
3. Run the script
4. Enter a new name → Done!
The script will rename the file and update all links to it.
