About this plugin
Imaxio SEO Image Renamer and Alt Text is a lightweight, zero-bloat WordPress plugin that uses Artificial Intelligence to automatically analyze your uploaded images and generate highly relevant, SEO-optimized filenames and alt tags.
Unlike bloated alternatives, there are no forced registrations, no monthly subscriptions, and no complicated setups. 01 per image directly to the provider for what you actually use. It’s just one clean PHP file doing exactly what it promises: adding a simple settings page and a magic button in your Media Library.
Tired of manually thinking about SEO for every single image? Just provide a general “Project Scope” to the AI, and let it do the heavy lifting.
🚀 Key Features
- Bring Your Own Key (BYOK): Seamlessly connect your own API keys for Google Gemini, OpenAI (ChatGPT), or Claude (Anthropic). No middleman.
- Context-Aware AI: Provide a global “Project Scope” in the settings (e.g., “High-end perfume online store”) so the AI generates tags and filenames tailored exactly to your niche and target audience.
- 1-Click Execution: No confirmation modals, no friction. Click the blue button in the media library, and the physical file is renamed instantly.
- Dynamic Model Selection: Automatically detects and selects the fastest, and most cost-effective models available (like gpt-4o-mini, gemini-2.5-flash, or claude-haiku-4-5 ).
- Safe File Renaming: Includes a failsafe duplication check. If a file with the generated filename already exists, the plugin appends a timestamp to prevent overwriting.
- Instant UI Refresh: The new title, alt text, filename, and file URL update live in the Media Library and Attachment Details modal — no page reload required.
⚙️ How it works
The plugin encodes your physical image file into Base64 and sends it securely to the chosen AI provider. The AI is prompted to return a strictly formatted JSON containing a descriptive, hyphen-separated filename and an SEO alt text limited to 100 characters. The plugin then updates the WordPress database and physically renames the base file on your server.
(Note: To keep the plugin fast and avoid breaking existing content, it only renames the main physical file, not the generated thumbnails. It is highly recommended to use this plugin right after uploading an image, before inserting it into a post).
External Services
This plugin relies on third-party AI services to analyze images and generate SEO-optimized filenames and alt texts. Images are converted to Base64 and sent to the chosen provider only when the user clicks the “AI Image Rename” button in the Media Library.
