Media Library Manager

Media Library Manager helps you organize and manage the WordPress Media Library from one plugin. Create folder-based media workflows, improve image metadata, replace files without breaking attachment references, control generated image sizes, and publish selected files with shortcode modules.

The plugin is built for site owners, photographers, agencies, content teams, and developers who need a more useful Media Library without custom code.
