Key Features

🤖 AI-Powered Renaming

Use AI Vision to analyze your images and generate meaningful filenames automatically. Smart suggestions help you pick the best name every time.

📁 Bulk Operations

Rename your entire media library at once, or work through files one by one. Filter by status (Pending, Renamed, Locked) to stay organized.

🔄 Metadata Sync

Automatically update Title, ALT Text, Caption, and Description after renaming. Keep everything consistent without the manual work.

🔒 Lock System

Lock files to prevent accidental renaming. Auto-lock after manual or automatic renames for extra safety.

Compatibility

3 onwards, PDF Thumbnails, UTF8 files, and optimized images. It handles various encoding types, ensuring your media library is always organized. Some page builders like Avia Layout Builder may limit renaming due to encryption.

Pro Version

In the Pro Version, you’ll find many exciting features, like AI Vision and Suggestions for smart renaming, and anonymize your files for extra privacy. Easily move files across directories in bulk, sync metadata such as ALT texts and titles, and even number your files for better organization.

Important

Renaming or moving files can be risky, so it’s vital to take precautions and make a backup before using Media File Renamer. Start by renaming files individually to ensure page references update correctly, as some plugins might interfere with the process. If issues arise post-renaming, try clearing your cache to fix outdated references.

Still facing problems? Use the Undo feature to revert filenames. For further assistance, visit our support page.
