All in One SEO (AIOSEO) vs Media File Renamer (2026): which should you pick?

Pick All in One SEO (AIOSEO) if

• Fits if you run a WordPress site and want redirects and schema on the lowest paid plan
• Works for agencies covering many client sites, with up to 100 on Elite

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: the prices shown are first-year rates and renewals are about double, so Basic goes from $49.50 to $99
• Tight if you stay on Lite, as redirects, local SEO and link suggestions all need a paid plan
• Pricey if you want local SEO, the Link Assistant or rank tracking: Plus is $199, Pro $399 and Elite $599 a year
• Skip it if you want AI writing in the editor, which needs a separate SEOBoost subscription
• Not for you if your site isn't on self-hosted WordPress, as there's no standalone app

Pick Media File Renamer if

• Fits if your media library is full of camera or download filenames
• Works for stores that want product images named after their products, on Pro

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if your site isn't on WordPress, as there's no standalone app
• Tight if you stay free, since Vision AI, post title and ACF renaming, numbered names and metadata sync need Pro
• Watch out: the AI features run through Meow Apps' separate AI Engine plugin, according to the changelog
• Watch out: yearly licenses renew automatically, lifetime ones include support for the first year only, and refunds stop at 14 days
• Watch out: the maker advises a backup before renaming, as some plugins can keep the old file references

Media File Renamer

Automatic renaming

Renames files on upload or later from their title or ALT text, and updates the references to them in posts and pages.

Manual and bulk renaming

Edit a filename from the Media Library, the edit screen or the Renamer dashboard, or rename the whole library at once, filtered by status.

Lock and undo

Lock files so they are never renamed again, lock them automatically after a rename, and revert to an earlier filename.

Vision AI

Pro looks at the image content to suggest a filename. The free version suggests names from existing metadata only.

More auto methods

Pro renames from the attached post title, an ACF field or an anonymized name, numbers files to avoid duplicates and handles transliteration.

Metadata sync and logs

Pro keeps titles, ALT text, captions and descriptions in line with the filename, and logs each rename in SQL for review or rollback.
