Hi Amanda,
I have been using File Renamer for a very long time. It is very easy to use and seems to be perfect for what you need. I also used it to add or remove period and underscore or to add a standard fragment to the labels of our images. It is free software and I highly recommend it. See below more info on the software.

External Email - Exercise Caution
Hi all,
Our institution has included our object ID as the filename for many years including the punctuation_2018.4.jpg etc. As we are starting to institute digital preservation policies and procedures, it was recommended to remove periods and add in an underscore and only have periods as part of the file extension. This would mean renaming the thousands of files on our servers and files in TMS. Has anyone performed a similar update or have any other recommendations?
Thanks,
Amanda
