<p><strong>All Sources Images</strong> helps WordPress users search Pixabay and Unsplash images, download Pixabay photos or Unsplash photos, and turn them into a featured image, inline content image, or bulk image workflow without leaving the editor.</p>
<p>If your goal is to find a fast WordPress Pixabay plugin or an Unsplash plugin, this plugin is built for that use case: search Pixabay from the Media Library, browse Unsplash inside Gutenberg or Elementor, and assign a featured image automatically when you publish.</p>
<p>Beyond Pixabay and Unsplash, the plugin also supports Pexels, Openverse, Flickr, GIPHY, YouTube thumbnails, and AI image generation with DALL·E, Stability AI, Gemini, Replicate, and Cloudflare Workers AI.</p>
<h4>Main Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Search Pixabay, Unsplash, Pexels, Flickr, Openverse, GIPHY, and more stock photo providers</li>
<li>Generate images using supported AI providers when Pixabay or Unsplash are not enough for a specific post</li>
<li>Set images as featured images</li>
<li>Set a featured image automatically on publish or in bulk workflows</li>
<li>Insert Pixabay, Unsplash, or AI images inside post content</li>
<li>Bulk-generate featured images for multiple posts</li>
<li>Gutenberg block for manual Pixabay and Unsplash image search and insertion</li>
<li>Elementor widget for Pixabay and Unsplash image search and insertion</li>
<li>Automatic featured image generation on post publish (optional)</li>
<li>Keyword extraction from title, content, tags, and categories</li>
<li>Logging for troubleshooting</li>
<li>REST API support</li>
<li>WordPress Abilities API support for MCP-compatible clients (WordPress 6.9+)</li>
</ul>

<h4>Supported Image Sources</h4>
<p><strong>AI Generation</strong><br />
* OpenAI (DALL·E)<br />
* Stability AI<br />
* Google Gemini<br />
* Replicate<br />
* Cloudflare Workers AI</p>
<p><strong>Stock / Search Sources</strong><br />
* Pixabay<br />
* Unsplash<br />
* Pexels<br />
* Flickr<br />
* Openverse<br />
* GIPHY<br />
* YouTube thumbnails</p>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<p>The plugin can work in two ways depending on the source:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Direct API mode</strong><br />
You add your own API keys for supported providers and the plugin connects directly to those services.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Developer proxy mode (optional, for some stock sources)</strong><br />
Some stock image searches can work without your own API key through an optional developer-operated proxy service. In that case, the search keywords are sent to the developer proxy, which forwards the request to the relevant image provider and returns the results.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>AI image generation services generally require your own API keys.</p>
<h4>Why publishers use it for featured images</h4>
<p>Many site owners search for a WordPress Pixabay plugin or a WordPress Unsplash plugin because their main goal is simple: find a relevant featured image fast. This plugin makes Pixabay and Unsplash part of the normal WordPress editorial workflow, so editors can search, compare, download, and assign a featured image without jumping between browser tabs.</p>
<p>The same setup can also automate featured image generation on publish, bulk generation for archives, and AI fallback when a Pixabay or Unsplash result is not the best match. That combination is useful for blogs, news sites, affiliate sites, magazines, and content teams publishing at scale.</p>
<h4>Typical Use Cases</h4>
<ul>
<li>Automatically find a featured image from Pixabay or Unsplash for a blog post</li>
<li>Insert a Pixabay or Unsplash image after a selected paragraph</li>
<li>Search Pixabay and Unsplash directly from the Media Library</li>
<li>Use the Gutenberg block to manually insert Pixabay or Unsplash images in content</li>
<li>Use the Elementor widget to search and display Pixabay or Unsplash images</li>
<li>Bulk-process many posts with Pixabay, Unsplash, or AI fallback</li>
</ul>
<h4>AI Agent Integration</h4>
<p>With WordPress 6.9+, AI agents can interact with this plugin through the WordPress Abilities API and MCP-compatible tools.</p>
<p>Available abilities include:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>allsi/search-image</code></li>
<li><code>allsi/set-featured-image</code></li>
<li><code>allsi/auto-generate-for-post</code></li>
<li><code>allsi/insert-image-in-content</code></li>
<li><code>allsi/generate-ai-image</code></li>
</ul>
<p>This allows compatible assistants to help find, generate, and assign images to posts.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>There are several ways to use the plugin:</p>
<h4>1. Media Library</h4>
<ol>
<li>Go to <strong>Media > Add New</strong> or open a media picker</li>
<li>Open the <strong>All Sources Images</strong> tab</li>
<li>Search for images</li>
<li>Download the selected image into your Media Library</li>
</ol>
<h4>2. Gutenberg Block</h4>
<ol>
<li>In the Block Editor, add the <strong>ASI Images</strong> block</li>
<li>Search images from supported sources</li>
<li>Select and insert the image into the post</li>
</ol>
<h4>3. Elementor Widget</h4>
<ol>
<li>In Elementor, add the <strong>ASI Image</strong> widget</li>
<li>Open the image explorer</li>
<li>Search and select an image source</li>
<li>Insert the image into the page</li>
</ol>
<h4>4. Post Image Generation</h4>
<ol>
<li>Open a post or page</li>
<li>Use the image generation tools from the plugin interface</li>
<li>Generate or retrieve an image</li>
<li>Set it as featured image or insert it into content</li>
</ol>
<h4>5. Bulk Generation</h4>
<ol>
<li>Go to the bulk generation interface</li>
<li>Select one or more posts</li>
<li>Run the generation process</li>
<li>The plugin processes the configured image blocks for each selected post</li>
</ol>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<p>Configuration depends on the providers you want to use.</p>
<h4>Stock image sources</h4>
<p>Pixabay and Unsplash, along with some other stock image providers, can work either:</p>
<ul>
<li>through the optional developer proxy, or</li>
<li>through your own API keys, where supported</li>
</ul>
<p>Using your own API keys for Pixabay, Unsplash, and other supported sources may provide direct connections and provider-specific rate limits.</p>
<h4>AI image generation sources</h4>
<p>AI services generally require your own API keys.</p>
<p>To configure providers:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to <strong>All Sources Images</strong></li>
<li>Open the <strong>Image Banks</strong> tab</li>
<li>Add your API keys for the providers you want to use</li>
<li>Save the settings</li>
</ol>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to external third-party services to search, retrieve, or generate images.</p>
<p>Depending on the provider and feature used, the plugin may send search keywords, prompts, post titles, selected text, or video URLs.</p>
<h4>Important</h4>
<ul>
<li>The plugin can connect either directly to third-party providers or, for some supported stock sources, through an optional developer-operated proxy service.</li>
<li>The optional proxy is used only for supported stock-source requests.</li>
<li>AI image generation services generally require your own API keys.</li>
<li>Please review the terms and privacy policies of each external service before use.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Plugin Developer Service</h3>
<h4>All Sources Images Proxy (optional)</h4>
<p>For some supported stock image sources, the plugin can use an optional proxy service operated by the plugin developer.</p>
<p>When this proxy path is used:</p>
<ul>
<li>search keywords are sent to the developer proxy</li>
<li>the developer proxy forwards the request to the relevant image provider</li>
<li>the proxy returns the search results to your site</li>
</ul>
<p>This proxy exists only to perform the remote request to the external provider on behalf of the site.</p>

Instant Images – One-click Image Uploads from Unsplash, Openverse, Pixabay, Pexels, and Giphy

Nice work mate. Amazing tool for development and test site. Kudos to you.

Amazing tool

This is a great plugin that can save you a lot of time if you need to add placeholder images.

Easy to use and time saver


The recent addition of Openverse really makes this one of the best (if not the best) plugins for adding free / creative commons / public domain images/photos/etc. libraries/services to your site.



Some of the image libraries can have limited offerings so this providing as many of these libraries as possible to then pull from really helps with that situation to be able to find the best asset you're looking for.


Best all-in-one solution for free/cc/public domain images/photos/etc.


Exceptionally designed. Super functional.



Does what it says it would. This plugin deserves a 10-star rating.



Great job!


This Plugin Just Works!


Working perfect in WP, but not in ClassicPress. I tested in CP 2.0 and it doesn't load, the loading gif is endless.  P.S. ClassicPress is a modified version of WordPress (without Gutenberg)


Working perfect in WP, but...


There was an error accessing the WP REST API.Instant Images requires access to the WP REST API via <u>POST</u> request to fetch and upload images to your media library.


There was an error accessing the WP REST API


I'm recommending it even on the Newsletter plugin composer: it makes newsletters more professional and save a huge amount of time. Thank you.



Stefano.
