How Moniker Renames .JPG Files

Moniker analyzes the visual content of your JPEG images—recognizing objects, scenes, people, and text—to generate descriptive filenames. Instead of cryptic camera-generated names like DSC_0847.jpg, you get meaningful names like sunset-over-golden-gate-bridge.jpg that are easy to find and organize.
