Tired of searching stock photo sites for every blog post? AI Featured Image Generator lets you create a fitting featured image with one click — directly from the post editor.
Key features:
- One-click generation from the Block Editor sidebar
- Bring Your Own API Key — supports OpenAI (DALL-E 3) and Ideogram
- Custom prompt option — override the auto-generated prompt before generating
- Generated images are stored in your Media Library and automatically set as Featured Image
- Regenerate variations with a single click
- Lightweight — no tracking, no telemetry, no admin notice spam
Why “Bring Your Own Key”?
Image generation costs money. Instead of charging you a markup, you connect your own API key and pay providers directly at cost. Typically a few cents per image.
Supported providers:
- OpenAI DALL-E 3 (openai.com) — recommended, sign up at platform.openai.com
- Ideogram (ideogram.ai) — alternative provider
What this plugin is NOT:
- Not a 50-feature AI suite
- Not a stock photo replacement (you control the prompts)
- Not phoning home — your data stays between you and your chosen AI provider
