Gravity Forms File Renamer

Uploaded files often arrive with names like IMG_4021 or document-final2, which makes them hard to sort later. Gravity Forms File Renamer fixes this at the point of submission. You build a template from static text and merge tags, such as a user's first and last name or an entry ID, and every uploaded file is renamed to match.

The plugin also handles the details that come with bulk uploads. It can add numeric increments to avoid duplicate names, place files into folders grouped by entry ID, and work with File Upload, Multi-file Upload and Post Image fields. It also works with Gravity Forms File Upload Pro and Media Library, and it offers filters for developers who need custom behavior.

Features

• Automatic file renaming: Files are renamed when the form is submitted, using a naming template you define. This removes manual renaming and keeps filenames consistent across all uploads.
• Merge tag naming templates: Combine static text with dynamic merge tags to build descriptive filenames that include submission details such as a user's first and last name or an entry ID.
• Prefix and suffix options: Add text before or after an existing filename, with the option to keep the original file name, so each file carries extra context.
• Deduplication and incrementers: Numeric increments and custom rules prevent two files from ending up with the same name, so no upload overwrites or collides with another.
• Custom upload folders: Sort uploads into structured folders automatically, for example grouping every file by entry ID, which makes related files easier to find later.
• Supports key upload fields: Works with File Upload, Multi-file Upload and Post Image fields in Gravity Forms, so renaming applies to the upload types you already use.
• Works with related plugins: Compatible with Gravity Forms File Upload Pro, and integrates with Media Library so renamed files are stored directly within WordPress.
• Any language and developer filters: Rename files using any language or special characters. Filters let developers control sanitization, template application, whitespace allowance and more.
