Where do I find the automatic image renaming and alt text settings in Aomark Suite?

In your WordPress dashboard, go to Aomark Suite > Tools and open the Images tab. The controls you need are in the Image Settings section at the top. These settings apply automatically whenever you upload new media, so you don’t have to edit filenames or alt text by hand afterward.

What does “Rename on Upload” do, and does it change existing images?

When enabled, uploaded images are renamed automatically using the context of the post you’re adding them to, which helps keep filenames descriptive. It only applies at upload time, so it won’t retroactively rename files already in your Media Library. If you upload the same image to different posts, the result can differ because the context changes.

How do rename patterns and placeholders work for filenames?

The rename pattern lets you define a consistent filename structure using placeholders that Aomark Suite replaces with real values during upload. This is useful if you want filenames that match your editorial style, such as including the post title or a date element. Keep patterns simple and predictable so you don’t end up with overly long filenames or awkward duplicates.

How does AI Alt Text on Upload work, and what affects the quality of the results?

AI Alt Text on Upload generates alt text as you upload images, typically using both the image content and the post context to stay relevant. Results are best when images are clear, the post has a specific topic, and you avoid uploading lots of near-identical visuals. You should still spot-check important pages, since alt text needs to be accurate, not just descriptive.

When should I enable automatic renaming and AI alt text, and when should I leave them off?

Turn them on if you publish frequently, have multiple authors, or want consistent media hygiene without relying on manual steps. Consider leaving them off for sites with strict naming conventions that must match external systems, or when you’re conserving AI credits on a limited plan. Automatic renaming uses AI credits per upload, so the right choice depends on how often you add images and how much you value time saved versus credit usage.

How to Set Up Automatic Image Renaming and Alt Text in Aomark Suite

Where to Find It

In your WordPress admin go to Aomark Suite > Tools. You’ll land on the Images tab by default. The top section is Image Settings, this is where you control what happens automatically every time you upload an image.

Rename on Upload

The first toggle is Rename on Upload. When enabled, every image you upload gets automatically renamed based on the context of the post it’s being uploaded to. This keeps your media library clean and ensures your image filenames are descriptive and SEO friendly rather than whatever your camera or phone named them.

Note that each automatic rename uses 2 AI credits. If you’re on a limited credit plan keep that in mind, though for most users the SEO benefit is well worth it.

Rename Pattern

Below the toggle you’ll see a Rename Pattern field. This lets you customize how renamed files are structured using placeholders. The available placeholders are {post-slug}, {attachment-id}, and {title}.

Leave this blank to use the default naming pattern, which works well for most sites. If you have a specific naming convention you want to follow, build it here using the placeholders.

AI Alt Text on Upload

The second toggle is AI Alt Text. When enabled, Aomark automatically generates descriptive alt text for every image you upload using AI. This saves a significant amount of time on content heavy sites and ensures no image ever gets published without alt text.

Each auto-generated alt text uses 1 AI credit. Again, worth it for the time saved and the SEO and accessibility benefits.

Saving Your Settings

Once you’ve configured both toggles and the rename pattern, click Save Settings. From this point on every image you upload will be processed automatically according to your preferences.

Next Steps

With automatic processing set up, the next tutorial covers the Bulk Image Renamer, which lets you go back and clean up images that were uploaded before these settings were enabled.
