Instant AI Image Generator – Create & Import Images

🤖 AI Image Generation

Create completely unique, one-of-a-kind images using artificial intelligence:

• OpenAI GPT Image — Generate stunning AI images from text prompts using OpenAI’s latest image generation model
• Google Gemini Imagen 4.0 — Create photorealistic images with Google’s Imagen 4.0 model with customizable size (512px to 2048px) and batch generation (1-4 images)

⬇️ One-Click Import to Media Library

Import any image straight to your WordPress Media Library with a single click — no downloading, no re-uploading, no FTP.

🖼️ WordPress Media Modal Integration

An “Instant Images” tab appears in the WordPress media popup, right beside “Upload Files” and “Media Library”, so you can search and import while setting a Featured Image or adding media to a post.

🏷️ Smart Image Metadata

On import the plugin can set Alternative Text , Image Title , and a Caption with attribution (“Photo by [Author Name]”). Each field has its own toggle in General Settings.

🎛️ Advanced Filtering

Provider-specific filters: Pixabay (order, type, 20+ categories, 14 colors, orientation), Openverse (source, orientation), Unsplash (order), Pexels (curated collections), Wikimedia (media type, sort) and Giphy (trending).

🎬 GIF Animation Control

Giphy GIFs load as still thumbnails to save bandwidth and animate on hover. A “GIF” badge marks animated results; the preview modal always plays them full size.

📋 Batch Selection & Import

Select multiple images across any provider and import them all in one operation with a progress indicator.

❤️ Favorites & 🔍 Search History

Bookmark images to a dedicated Favorites tab, and re-run recent searches from keyboard-navigable suggestions in the search bar.

👁️ Full-Size Image Preview

Click any image for a large preview with author info, previous/next keyboard navigation, multiple import sizes, a Favorites button and a link to the original source.

⚙️ Comprehensive Dashboard Settings

• General — max upload width/height, default provider, Alt Text / Title / Attribution toggles, Media Modal visibility
• Display — view mode, items per page (20-100), thumbnail size, auto-scroll or manual “Load More”

🎨 Modern UI, Lightweight Footprint

Built with React and Tailwind CSS : card-based layouts, color-coded provider tabs, masonry grids and skeleton loading states. API requests are nonce-protected, keys are stored in WordPress options, there is no tracking or analytics, and assets load only on the admin screens that need them — zero frontend code on your public site.

External services

This plugin is a client for third-party image services. It does not work without them: every image you search, generate or import is fetched from one of the services listed below. All of this happens inside wp-admin only — nothing is requested from your public-facing site, and no visitor data is collected or transmitted.

Requests are made only when you actively use a feature: typing a search term, opening a provider tab, running Global Search, generating an AI image, using the block toolbar “Generate Image” action, importing an image, or clicking “Test key” in the settings. Each request carries the search term or prompt you typed and the API key for that provider. No WordPress user data, post content, site URL, or personal information is sent.

Most providers are contacted by your own server through the WordPress HTTP API, so the provider sees your server’s IP address. Two are contacted directly by your browser instead, so the provider sees the IP address of the computer you are working on: Openverse search, and OpenAI image generation from the Image Generator page. Preview thumbnails are also loaded straight into your browser from each provider’s image CDN, as with any image on a web page.

Pexels, Pixabay, Unsplash and Giphy ship with a shared BdThemes API key so they work without configuration. That means the plugin can contact those four services before you enter any key of your own. Disable a provider in AI Image → Dashboard → Image Sources to stop the plugin from contacting it.
