Perfect plugin for our free stock photo website picjumbo. We're using it for years to automatically rename our P001120.jpg photos to SEO-focused names like business-woman-using-a-computer-free-photo.jpg. This plugin really works! Thanks!

This is really well done. No more telling clients to sanitize file names upfront.
It also creates the correct two-letter form of the German umlauts äöüß -> ae oe ue ss.
Perfect!
