When you upload your images to your Pixelrights portfolio, we generate and include your metadata containing title and description, which is understood by social media and search engines.

The filenames for your images are changed but it shouldn’t matter for SEO if the metadata is provided.

SEO will only rely on the file name if it can’t find any other information.

For more information on the SEO field, please see our SEO Field support page.
