Performance — Find and delete duplicate images, rubbish files, and unnecessary image sizes to reduce server storage. Organization — Categorize media, track image usage across posts and pages, and filter by any column. Automation — Auto-rename on upload, auto-fill metadata from post titles, and inject missing alt text on the frontend.
