Use confirmed identifiers
Match every image to the correct part or model before renaming it. Keep revision, configuration, and compatibility details in the source record, and include only the identifying information appropriate for public filenames.
Do not let AI guess a component’s function, material, rating, or certification from appearance. Give the description process confirmed context and route uncertain cases to a technical reviewer.
Distinguish the useful views
A front view, connection panel, mounting detail, and dimension diagram each answer a different question. Use filenames and descriptions that identify those differences instead of repeating a long product title.
If an image includes specifications or measurements, provide the relevant information in accessible text or a suitable data table as well. A short image description is not a substitute for a complete technical specification.
Make approval traceable
Record the product identifier, source asset, proposed filename, reviewer, and approval state. This is particularly useful when marketing and engineering share responsibility for the website.
PixelRank can accelerate initial naming and description work, but technical claims require review against your documentation. Check published images after a catalog revision so obsolete parts and diagrams do not remain attached to updated products.

Use a model identifier only when it is confirmed by the product record.
