Description

Alex Vitola Upload Metadata automatically processes uploaded images in WordPress.

It performs three main actions:

  • Renames uploaded image files using a unique timestamp

  • Fills the media caption using embedded image metadata (EXIF/IPTC), such as copyright, credit, creator or title

The plugin is lightweight, automatic, and requires no configuration.

Installation

  2. Activate the plugin through the WordPress admin panel
  3. Upload an image and the plugin will handle everything automatically
