Frequently Asked Questions

Why does filename matter for SEO?

Search engines can read filenames and use them as context signals. A descriptive filename like "how-to-make-coffee.mp4" is better than "VID_20240115.mp4" for discoverability.

Should I use hyphens or underscores?

Hyphens (kebab-case) are generally better for SEO. Google treats hyphens as word separators but underscores as word joiners. "video-tutorial" is seen as two words, but "video_tutorial" is seen as one.

What about special characters?

Avoid special characters in filenames for maximum compatibility. This tool transliterates common accented characters (é → e, ü → ue) to their ASCII equivalents.

What is the maximum filename length?

Most systems support 255 characters, but we recommend keeping filenames under 200 characters for compatibility. Shorter filenames are also easier to read and share.
