About NameCleaner
NameCleaner is an industrial strength utility for Macintosh to manipulate file names and types. It is specially designed to help move files to and from Windows and Unix, including Boot Camp on Intel Macs.

NameCleaner is very fast, focused on cross platform needs and has been extensively field tested for renaming between Macs and PCs. It has tens of thousands of users in some of the world's biggest companies, universities and government agencies.

NameCleaner's sister product Cross Platform provides information on how files can be used with Windows-based computers. Our online guides to transferring files from Mac to Windows or Windows to Mac explain the steps involved.
