Featured Images

Search and filter posts, pages or products, pick a template, and render a featured image for each one, with resumable batches and per-category templates.

Point a template at two hundred posts and let it render every one of them.

Choosing a good featured image per post works beautifully for the first twenty and then collapses. Not because it is hard, but because it sits at the end of the publishing checklist, and things at the end of checklists do not happen on a Friday evening.

This runs a dynamic template over your content instead. Search and filter posts, pages or products, select as many as you like, pick a template and press Process. For each entry the placeholders resolve, the design renders and the result is set as the featured image.

Optionally a background is generated from the content of that specific post, steered by a style description, a reference image and your brand colors, so a hundred posts do not end up wearing a hundred copies of the same stock photograph.

Three things about the run itself are worth knowing. The output keeps its full layer stack, so a generated image opens from the media library as an editable document rather than a flattened JPEG. Batches are resumable, because progress is stored on the server, so a reload or a shaky connection does not mean starting over. And per-category template mapping picks the right template automatically during a bulk run, so tutorials and news posts can look related without looking identical.

With Rank Math or Yoast active, the same pass can set the image as the social preview and generate an SEO title and description per post. Also save as PDF drops a print-ready version alongside the image.

Frequently asked questions

Not if you switch on skip posts that already have a featured image, which you should. That single setting protects every deliberate decision you have ever made.
If the title is baked into the picture, the picture is now wrong. Refreshing on change keeps the two in step, which is the strongest argument for generating rather than drawing.
Only for the generated backgrounds. Running a template that uses a featured image, a color field or a pattern needs no key at all.

Brush & Paint Styles

Paint with six styles that mix pigment instead of blending it, pick from thirty-seven tips shown as real strokes, draw a tip of your own out of shapes, and let the color travel along the stroke.

Collage & Photo Grid

Arrange media library photos as a grid, mosaic, polaroid, filmstrip or contact sheet, tune gaps, corners and frames on a live preview, and insert it all as an editable layer group.

360° Panorama

Describe a place and the tool builds the full sphere around you, or let it rebuild a photo you already have as the whole scene around the camera. What comes out is somewhere visitors can look around, hotspots and all, in an embed that carries its own viewer.

AI Studio

Generate, edit, retouch and clean up images from a prompt or a single click, all in one panel. Many tools run locally with no key; prompt generation uses your own Gemini or OpenAI.

Gradients, text treatments, shapes and illustrations generated from a prompt, in your brand colors, arriving as editable layers.

Stock Images

Search Pexels, Pixabay and Unsplash without leaving the editor, and insert what you find as a layer rather than a download.

Ready-made designs across social, marketing and seasonal categories, opening as layered documents in a new tab so your current work stays untouched.

Brand Kits

Colors, typefaces, a logo, a watermark and a company profile in one place, feeding every picker, template and generator on the site.

Media Library Manager

Folders and tags that persist outside the editor, semantic search that finds images by what they show, color and orientation filters, smart folders, and a full set of housekeeping tools.

Audits the text layers in your document, reports the contrast ratio for each and tells you which ones are hard to read.

QR Code Generator

Links, text, email, phone, SMS, Wi-Fi access and contact cards, styled with your colors, module shapes and a center logo.

Chart & Table

Turn data into chart or table layers that stay editable, styled with your own typeface and colors rather than a spreadsheet default.
