How to Use File Name SEO Cleaner
File Name SEO Cleaner turns real media and document names into cleaner slugs for uploads, websites, and asset libraries.
- Paste the actual filenames with extensions so the cleaned names still match the files you need to upload.
- Choose lowercase, separators, and stop-word cleanup based on the CMS or file system that will store the assets.
- Clean a small group first, then compare extensions and important keywords before renaming the full batch.
- Changing or dropping extensions can make files harder to open after renaming.
- Keep the original filename list until every renamed asset has uploaded and linked correctly.
Things to Check
- Changing extensions can make files hard to open.
- Very large filename batches can slow the browser; split long asset lists before cleaning them on mobile.
- Check the cleaned names in the CMS, media library, folder, or sitemap where the assets will live.
