2# Hyphen in Image Name
Remember when naming your images with your keywords neither use blank space nor underscore ( _ ) between them. Always use hyphen to separate the keywords like I have done in the first example. Because when your use blank space it will automatically convert to ‘%20‘ which have no meaning. In result web crawlers found difficulty to understand the image. Hyphen is always a better option for optimizing the image.
