40,000+ active installs · Rated 4.6/5 · Updated October 3, 2026
Media File Renamer renames uploaded media files and their metadata such as title, alt text and description for SEO and tidiness. It works on upload, in bulk or by hand, and can suggest names with AI through the AI Engine plugin. It suits sites with large media libraries. Limit: renaming changes file URLs, so back up uploads and the database first, and some features need the Pro version.

- Updates references in posts, meta and excerpts

Cons
- Renaming changes file URLs, so a backup is needed first
