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.

Perfect Images handles the basics of WordPress image management that should have been built-in from the start. Manage image sizes, disable the ones you don’t need, add custom sizes, and regenerate thumbnails in bulk. It’s the essential foundation every WordPress install needs for clean, efficient image handling.
Think of it as your image management base layer. WordPress creates too many sizes? Disable them. Need a custom thumbnail size? Add it. Want retina support or modern formats like WebP/AVIF? Enable those modules. Perfect Images gives you complete control without bloat.

<h3>Core Features</h3>
⚙️ Image Size Management 
The foundation of everything. View all registered image sizes (WordPress defaults, theme sizes, plugin sizes), disable the ones you don’t need, and add custom sizes. Finally, control over those pesky WordPress-generated sizes like <code>medium_large</code>, <code>1536x1536</code>, and <code>2048x2048</code>.
🔄 Regenerate Thumbnails 
Bulk regenerate thumbnails after changing sizes or switching themes. Progress tracking, smart processing, and automatic cleanup of old unused sizes.
🖼️ Retina Images (Module) 
Optional module for high-DPI displays. Automatically generate and serve crisp @2x versions of your thumbnails. Works seamlessly with WordPress responsive images.
🎨 Modern Formats (Module) 
Optional WebP/AVIF conversion. Convert images to modern formats for smaller file sizes and faster loading—without replacing your originals.
🚀 Easy IO (Module) 
Optional CDN-based image optimization via EWWW. Automatically converts and delivers your images in WebP/AVIF, resizes on the fly, and serves them from a global CDN—zero server configuration required.
🤖 AI Features (Module) 
Optional AI-powered tools. Upscale images via Claid.ai when your source is too small, or use the AI Assistant to analyze your sizes and recommend which to enable or disable based on your theme’s srcset needs.
