Picment AI Featured Image Generator uses OpenAI’s DALL-E 3 model to automatically create beautiful, relevant featured images for your blog posts — saving you time and keeping your content visually consistent.
<h4>How It Works</h4>
Every time you publish a post, the plugin automatically generates a high-quality featured image based on your post’s title and content. You can also run bulk generation across all your existing posts from a single admin page.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Auto-generate on publish — a featured image is created automatically when you publish a new post</li>
<li>Bulk generate — generate images for all existing posts from one admin page, with a real-time progress bar</li>
<li>Per-post control — enable or disable auto-generation per post via the sidebar metabox, and trigger generation manually with one click</li>
<li>DALL-E 3 quality — uses OpenAI’s latest and most capable image generation model</li>
<li>Performance-optimized image settings — defaults use landscape output with standard quality for better featured-image fit and reasonable load speed</li>
<li>Custom prompt template — override the built-in prompt with your own using <code>{title}</code> and <code>{content}</code> placeholders</li>
<li>Images saved to Media Library — generated images are downloaded and stored in your WordPress media library</li>
<li>Block & FSE theme compatible — works with all modern WordPress themes</li>
<li>BYOK mode — use your own OpenAI API key (free, rate-limited to 10 requests/min)</li>
<li>Subscription plans — buy monthly credits (Starter, Pro, Agency) for high-volume use without managing your own API key</li>
</ul>
<h4>Billing Modes</h4>
Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) — Enter your own OpenAI API key. All API calls go directly from your server to OpenAI. You pay OpenAI directly. Rate-limited to 10 requests/minute.
Trial — New installs get 1 free credit to test the plugin with zero configuration.
Starter ($7/month) — 20 AI image credits per month. No OpenAI account needed.
Pro ($19/month) — 100 AI image credits per month. Best for active blogs.
Agency ($49/month) — 400 AI image credits per month. Ideal for managing multiple sites or high-volume content.

<li>For BYOK mode: an <a href="https://platform.openai.com/api-keys" rel="nofollow ugc">OpenAI API key</a> with access to the <code>dall-e-3</code> model</li>

<h4>🎨 Generation Methods Explained</h4>
1. First Content Image (Free) 
Automatically scans your post content and selects the first suitable image that meets your quality requirements. Perfect for blogs and news sites where articles already contain relevant images. Smart detection ensures only high-quality images become featured thumbnails. No API keys or external services required.
2. AI Generation with OpenAI DALL-E (Optional) 
Create completely unique, contextual images using cutting-edge AI technology. The plugin analyzes your post content (title, paragraphs, or full text) and generates a detailed prompt using GPT models (GPT-4, GPT-4o, or GPT-4o-mini). DALL-E then creates a custom image matching your content perfectly. Choose from natural or vivid styles, resolutions up to 1024×1792, and multiple language options. Requires OpenAI API key (costs ~$0.04-$0.08 per image).
3. Generate from Title (Free) 
Transform post titles into professional custom graphics with text overlays. Fully customize width, height, background color, text color, and font size. The real-time live preview shows exactly how your thumbnail will look before generating. Perfect for social media sharing and maintaining consistent branding. Uses local GD Library—no external services needed.
4. Search or Generate (Free) 
Smart fallback strategy that combines the best of both worlds. First attempts to find a suitable image in your post content. If none found, automatically generates a custom title-based graphic. Ensures every post gets a featured image without manual intervention. Ideal for mixed content where some posts have images and others don’t.
5. Use Default Image (Free) 
Professional fallback system using a preset image from your WordPress media library. When no suitable image is found in content, the plugin automatically uses your chosen default. Perfect for maintaining consistent branding across posts without images. Great for podcasts, text-heavy content, or specific categories.
