One managed system, not scattered tools
Featured Image Generation creates AI-powered images for every article using DALL-E 3 or Gemini 2.5-flash (Nano Banana). Users choose from four options: AI Generate (with 7 aspect ratios — 1:1, 16:9, 3:2, 2:3, 3:4, 4:3, 9:16), search Unsplash's library of 3M+ free photos, upload a custom image (PNG/JPG/GIF/WEBP up to 16MB), or skip. AI-generated images include a preview with regenerate and tweak controls before committing. Every image gets an SEO-optimized filename and auto-generated alt text. For WordPress sites, images are uploaded to the media library and set as the featured image automatically. Unsplash selections include automatic photographer attribution.
