Overview
File Media Renamer is a WordPress plugin that allows to rename uploaded files already and change their postname or slug-url.
This plugin simply adds two fields in the wordpress media frame, namely the filename field and the postname field where in you can easily rename the files. As per current wordpress versions does not support or does not have a feature of renaming uploaded files so you either need to delete the file and re-upload it again or simply install this plugin and rename them in the media frame screen.

Promising
by Martin Sauter·3 years ago
This plugin solves a major problem for many WordPress users. Conceptually, it is exactly what I was looking for. However, it will need more testing to find out if it is compatible with all the themes, plugins and pagebuilders I use.

Thank you for the plugin development.
Love this plugin to fix errors missed prior to uploading images to the server.
Fantastic Program. Saved me months of work.

This saved the day! Phoenix Media Rename completely crashed my site on several occasions due to it using up all my shared allowance with just a few moments of work. Which further resulted in many broken images that destroyed my website and social media presence. I was about to give up hope when I stumbled across this gem.
Within a day, I had renamed nearly 25k images and was able to repair much of the damage done by the other program. This was a life saver. Wish I had found it first.
Read the instructions carefully to avoid issues with images linked on other sources. Since my website was already destroyed by the other plugin, I went ahead and renamed without abandon. If I had a huge social media presence, I would be wary of renaming file names.
