How do I rename a file on iPad?

I think I have opened the Utilities, File Manager APP

I can select a file.

How do I rename it or Save As a different file name, then delete the original file?

I primarily want to rename JPG pictures


Also, is there a way to save additional information with the JPG file, such as the URL where I copied the picture from?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Assuming that you are using the native Files App, identify the File that you wish to rename in the list of files. Next, touch-and-hold the name of the file; an Action Menu will appear. From the menu, select Rename. You can now enter a new filename.


The iPad User Guide for iPadOS is also a rich source of information about your iPad and how to use its various features. Here are links to both the downloadable and online versions of the Guide:
