AI Filename Generator

Google's image publishing guidelines state: "The filename can give Google clues about the subject matter of the image. For example, my-new-black-kitten.jpg is better than IMG00023.JPG."

This is not speculation. Google's own documentation confirms filenames are a ranking signal. Every image on your site with a camera-generated filename (IMG_, DSC_, DCIM_, Screenshot_) is a missed ranking opportunity.

Picture Optimizer rewrites filenames based on what the AI sees in the image. The output: lowercase, hyphen-separated, ASCII-only slugs that describe the image content.

The AI generates a new filename during the analysis step. When the image exports, the file saves with the new name. In WordPress, the plugin updates the attachment URL, the file path on disk, all references in post content, and adds a redirect from the old URL.

Before: /wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IMG_4382.jpg After: /wp-content/uploads/2024/03/red-ford-mustang-gt-brick-warehouse.webp

Every external link pointing to the old URL follows the redirect to the new one.
