• Thank you, but when i go into edit mode for that item, the permalink is not editable (as it is usually for posts/pages)

• Hmm are you using Wordpress.org or Wordpress.com?

• Wordpress installation on my own domain/hosting (i guess that mean org)

• That is odd. Have you tried disabling your Plugins and changing themes?

• As a last resort option, you can adjust the post_title via the database for the image. I don't normally recommend this option, but in this case, it might be your only option. Using a tool like phpMyAdmin can help with this. I recommend taking note of the images ID (check the URL when editing the image - wp-admin/post.php?post=114&action=edit - ID is 114 in this example). Search your wp_posts table for that ID, change the post_title value to the desired slug.

1. Go to Media Library

4. Click Edit more details (at bottom right, very easy to miss)

5. Find the Screen Options (top right) and enable the Slug checkbox

6. Scroll down to the slug box and change the slug to whatever you want.
7. Click Update!

In Media Library, I noticed that when media file is not Attached to a page the permalink is not editable. When they are attached, permalink editing is permitted.

On the edit page, 1. click the screen options downward triangle in the upper right of the screen 2. Check "Slug" under Boxes. 3. Update 4. Scroll down to Slug box. 5. Type in what you want to call the link.

This doesn't change the link location. Just the link name, which is what I was trying to figure out since I didn't want it as the name of the file I uploaded.
