AutoRename Extension

AutoRename is a Google Chrome extension that can automatically rename image files downloaded from the internet into something more meaningful than a generic string of characters. This extension can be useful if you want to easily identify the original source of an image or if you want to keep your files organized. For example, if you have a favorite photographer, illustrator, or artist whose work you frequently download, AutoRename can save and rename the file in a well-organized format. If you are a journalist and your website supports displaying the file name, this extension can be beneficial.

Please note that it is important to be mindful of copyright and intellectual rights when downloading images. The developer and contributors of AutoRename are not responsible for any misuse of this extension.
