Media File Renamer (Pro)

Media libraries get messy fast. Uploads arrive with camera codes or random strings as names, and titles change later while the files stay the same. This plugin ties filenames to titles, ALT text and other metadata, so the names you see in the library match what the content is about. Files can rename themselves when a title is updated, or you can edit names yourself.

You can work from the Media Library, an individual edit screen or a dedicated Renamer Dashboard. Auto-renaming can draw on ALT text and attached post titles, and AI suggestions look at the image content. Locking, undo and a rename log keep changes under control. Developers can use filters, actions and custom triggers to fit it into their own workflows.

Features

• Automatic renaming: Files are renamed whenever their titles are updated, so filenames stay consistent without you editing each one by hand.
• Manual renaming dashboard: Edit filenames from the Media Library, from a single media edit screen or from the dedicated Renamer Dashboard, whichever suits the task.
• AI filename suggestions: Vision AI analyzes metadata and image content to suggest more meaningful filenames, which you can apply to your media.
• Lock and unlock filenames: Lock the names of important media files so they cannot change by accident while you work through the rest of the library.
• One-click undo: Revert a file to its previous name with a single click if a rename turns out wrong.
• Advanced transliteration: Handles renaming across multiple languages and character encodings, which helps keep filenames readable and compatible.
• Extra auto-rename sources: Automatic renaming can use ALT text, attached post titles and anonymization options, giving you more control over how names are built.
• Numbered duplicates and logging: Numbers are appended and incremented to avoid filename conflicts, and SQL logging records every rename so you can audit changes or roll back.

Best for

• Photographers managing large image libraries
• Bloggers who want tidy, meaningful media filenames
• Developers needing hooks for custom rename workflows
