<p>Get the Image is one of the most advanced thumbnail/image scripts ever created for WordPress.</p>
<p>It is used everywhere from small blogs to large, enterprise-level solutions like <a href="http://vip.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress.com VIP</a>.  Get the Image offers something for everybody. Much of the reason for its success is because it uses standard WordPress code and methods for doing what it needs to do, which is to simply grab images.</p>
<p>The plugin was designed to make the process of adding thumbnail, featured, slider, gallery, and other images to your blog much easier, but it’s so much more than that.  It is an image-based representation of your WordPress posts.</p>
<p>This is a highly intuitive script that can grab an image by custom field input, WordPress’ featured image, post attachment, or extracting it from the post’s content.  Plus, a lot more!</p>
<h3>Before using</h3>
<p>Please note that Get the Image requires that you understand and know how to edit your theme’s PHP code, at least to the extent of copying and pasting one line of code.  If you’re not comfortable doing this, it’s best to ask that your theme author integrate the code necessary to support this plugin.</p>
<h3>A little history</h3>
<p>The original plugin was in launched 2008, which means it has several years of solid testing and development behind it.  It was created at a time when WordPress had very little native media support.  At the time, it was mostly used as a “thumbnail” script for magazine-/news-style sites.  But, it has grown into a much more flexible script over the years.</p>
<p>Even with WordPress’ more recent advancements in image management, many users still continue using this plugin because it offers a more robust image script than core WordPress.</p>
<p>The plugin has been downloaded 100,000s of times and is used on millions of sites as part of WordPress theme packages.</p>
<p>Other image plugins have come and gone, but Get the Image has stood the test of time with several years of successful installs and happy users.</p>

Get the Image

Nice plugin, I use it for all of my sites.



Just works

An easy-to-use image script for adding things such as thumbnail, slider, gallery, and feature images.

<p>When active this plugin adds a column to the All Posts/All Pages and where supported the All Custom Post Type admin views. This column, “Thumb”, will display a thumbnail of the featured image<br />
 or post thumbnail so you can easily determine the content that is missing an image.</p>
<p>You can also make inline edits that allow you to change the thumb/image from the All Posts/All Pages/All Custom Post Type view without having to edit the post.</p>
<p>Now the plugin is translatable. Using tools such as Poedit along with localized / international versions of WordPress, FIAT can display user supplied translations of its text.</p>

Featured Image Admin Thumb

Very useful. Thanks.

When bulk updating featured images, this is so much faster than having to open each post, add featured image, save, and return to posts list. Bravo!

Crazy huge time saver


This plugin did exactly what I wanted.  It showed me in my admin list which posts didn't have an image and let me click a link right there inline to add the right one.  Nailed it.  Couldn't be happier.


Worked perfectly, saved me some time


This plugin is very useful for me on many WordPress websites. Thanks for it!


Very useful !

Very helpful

Adds inline thumbnail image to admin columns on Post/post types view (where supported). Click to easily set/change the featured image.
