About this tool

Pull just the file name out of long local paths, CDN URLs, and shared folder exports when preparing manifests, spreadsheets, or migration lists.

This page is designed to handle one clearly defined job with less friction than a spreadsheet, editor, or heavier app. The best utility pages feel obvious, focused, and immediately reusable.

  • Extracts file names from Unix paths, Windows paths, and full URLs.
  • Removes query strings and trailing slashes so the output stays clean.
  • Optionally strips the extension when you only need the base name.
