How are photo filenames managed?

Renamed Files

Your original image filenames aren’t visible to visitors or search engines.

When photos are uploaded, we generate new public filenames for every image. Those new filenames are shown as a string of random numbers and letters (i.e. 4qnvkdz3x2r). This feature ensures that any file naming methods you use internally aren’t ever visible publicly.

SEO Optimized Filenames

Using keywords in photo filenames is a known ranking factor. But it’s rarely done because it’s admittedly a tedious task to manually change filenames to include important keywords.

But Good Gallery solves this problem. We were the first website builder to include a feature that automatically renames photos. When you add a keyword-rich title to any photo, the photo is renamed, and important keywords are automatically included in your filename—simply and easily.
