Bulk File Creation — Generate Multiple Files from a Template or CSV
Create dozens or hundreds of local files at once using a text template. Use built-in placeholders like {{counter}} and {{today}}, or import a CSV to generate one file per row with column-based content — all from your browser, nothing uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
- What placeholders can I use in file names and content?
- {{counter}} inserts a sequential number (e.g., 001, 002…), {{today}} inserts the current date. CSV column values become additional placeholders matched to column header names.
- What is the CSV import format?
- A plain CSV file where the header row defines column names. Each data row generates one file. Column names become placeholders in your template (e.g., {{name}} maps to the 'name' column).
- How many files can I create at once?
- There is no hard limit. Practical performance depends on your machine — thousands of files generate quickly.
- Can I create files in multiple folders at once?
- Yes. You can select multiple target folders in the file tree, and Disk Tamer will create the file set in each selected folder.
- Will it overwrite existing files?
- Disk Tamer warns you if a file would be overwritten before running. You can review and adjust the template to avoid collisions.
- Can I set the file extension?
- Yes — include the extension in your filename template (e.g., report_{{counter}}.txt or data_{{today}}.csv).
- Does it work offline?
- Yes. Disk Tamer runs entirely in your browser with no server connection required.
