Promising
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.
