Overview

About this plugin

Smart Auto Featured Image is the most advanced Featured Image generator for WordPress. Create custom templates with the built-in editor and use them directly in your posts. Add dynamic fields such as the post title to automate the image generation process.

Get rid of third party image tools, and simplify your workflow. Featured Images are saved directly to the post being edited!

🚀 BUILT-IN TEMPLATE EDITOR

Create beautiful templates in a similar fashion as you would create an image with Adobe Photoshop.

Build your image using multiple layers. Move, resize, rearrange layers anywhere you like within the canvas.

Use the grid and keyboard keys to make editing a breeze!

* Hold Ctrl: snap to grid

* Hold Alt: resize from center

* Hold Shift: preserve aspect ratio / create at 1:1 ratio

All keys can be used in combination. Ex: Alt + Shift: Resize from center while preserving layer aspect ratio

📐 AUTOMATE WITH DYNAMIC ELEMENTS

If you wish to have the post title in your image, you can use a Text layer set as {{title}}
