Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

BudgetPixel AI Images adds AI image generation to the block editor. One BudgetPixel API key gives you 25+ image models from different labs, the exact credit cost is shown before every generation, and a WP-CLI command fills the missing featured images across your archive in one priced, confirmed run.

  • Featured images in one click. A “BudgetPixel AI Image” panel in the post sidebar pre-fills a prompt from your title and excerpt. Edit it, pick a model, see the exact credit cost, generate, and set the result as the featured image or insert it into the post.
  • 25+ image models. FLUX 2, Seedream 5.0, Nano Banana, GPT Image, Qwen-Image, Kling and more, priced per image. The live model list and prices come from your account.
  • Cost before you spend. Every generation shows its credit cost first. The plugin never spends credits without a click.
  • Bulk-fill missing featured images. wp budgetpixel featured --missing --dry-run lists every post without a featured image and the total cost; drop --dry-run to generate them.
  • Sensible defaults. Alt text defaults to the prompt. The model and prompt are stored as attachment meta so you can always see how an image was made.

A paid BudgetPixel plan is required. com. com/developers.

See what each model costs per image on the AI generation price index.

Nothing is added to your public site unless you turn on the optional “Made with BudgetPixel” caption, which is off by default.

External services

com to generate images. It is a paid third-party service operated by BudgetPixel.

  • What is sent: your API key (in the request header), the prompt text, the chosen model and aspect ratio, and the plugin version with your site URL as the User-Agent. Nothing else about your site, posts or visitors is sent.
  • When: only when you click Generate in the editor, load the model list or credit balance in the plugin’s screens, use the Test connection button, or run the wp budgetpixel command. No background calls are made.
  • Where the results go: generated images are downloaded into your Media Library. Generation history also appears in your BudgetPixel account.
