This plugin was created to make easier the life of people that want to get pictures, images, photos from the web, rather than download your image on your computer and, then, upload it in your media library, you can paste the image url in the field and get it from the web straight in your media library. Afterword you can click to set the post thumbnail and you will find the aquired image in your media library, ready to be inserted in your post.
This plugin is a simple box, activate the plugin, follow the settings link, activate the option to see the new form in the post thumbnail metabox in the post edit page and it’s done!
I created this plugin mainly for me, when I was creating websites I incurred the need to quickly grab some of my photos from another website ands that was the reason of this idea, it is something like creating a tunnel from one site to another to transfer images.

Post Thumbnail from URL

Post Thumbnail From URL is a plugin to quickly import images from the web straight to your Media Library using a public URL.

Presswell Art Direction helps simplify how custom image thumbnail sizes are defined, cropped, and generated.
Features
<ul>
<li>Control image cropping with hot-spots</li>
<li>Select custom image sizes in the WordPress editor</li>
<li>Dynamically generate image thumbnails</li>
<li>Delete all cached thumbnails</li>
</ul>
Image Cropping
Presswell Art Direction adds the ability to set a focal point hot-spot for all images in the media library for fine grain cropping control. Simply identify where the subject of the photo is and the plugin will crop all custom image thumbnails to ensure it stays in frame.
Thumbnail Sizes
Presswell Art Direction adds an easy to use interface for defining and editing custom image thumbnail sizes. Custom image sizes will be available for selection when inserting images in the post editor.
Dynamic Images
Presswell Art Direction prevents custom image sizes from being generated automatically. Only standard WordPress thumbnails will be generated when a new image is uploaded. All other image sizes will be dynamically generated when called via code or requested via URL, saving server space when many custom image sizes are defined. Note: URL based image generation requires that <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks" rel="nofollow ugc">pretty permalinks</a> are enabled.
