Enhances the WordPress media library by allowing you to rename the underlying media files. Any change to a media item’s title will result in the media filename also being changed.
See the screenshot for more details of where to rename media files.
Note that all thumbnails will also be renamed. If you are using a caching plugin, such as WP Super Cache, then you will need to clear your cache so that any references are updated. This plugin does not update existing direct links to files (links inside a WordPress gallery will change).

Phoenix Media Rename

This plugin is focused specifically on doing one thing and doing it right - that is renaming the media files you absent-mindedly uploaded with some not SEO-friendly names.

Very simple to use!

The plugin author is responsive and receptive to the feedback which is the icing on the cake.

10/5 would recommend again!

Great plugin!

In the era of paid plugins and paid options this plugin is real refreshment. Thank you.

Simple and effective plugin


Does exactly what it says it will do in the simplest of ways.



I had a lot of images to rename and used the plugin on 200 image batches in the Media file list, and everything went well.



All file associations, thumbnails, Litespeed optimized images stayed intact.


Works perfectly

The Phoenix Media Rename plugin allows you to easily rename (and retitle) your media files, once uploaded.
