Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about AI Featured image
Yes, for at least one provider. All free-plan providers have free tiers or pay-as-you-go pricing: OpenAI, Stability AI, Grok/xAI, or Google Gemini (Pro only).
The plugin is free; you pay your provider per image: OpenAI: varies by model and generation quality (Low is the cheapest); see OpenAI pricing Stability AI: Stable Image Core is roughly ~$0.003/image; other models vary; see Stability AI pricing Grok/xAI: $0.02/image (Grok Imagine Image) or $0.07/image (Pro model) Google Gemini (Pro): Gemini 2.5 Flash uses 1290 tokens per image; Gemini 3.1 Flash and 3 Pro vary by resolution
Yes. Select your provider and enter its API key in the plugin settings. The page shows only the options relevant to your selection. Free users can switch between OpenAI, Stability AI, and Grok/xAI; Pro adds Google Gemini.
Only your API plan's quota with your chosen provider. The plugin generates one image per request.
OpenAI (Free & Pro): GPT Image 2 (default, with strong text rendering and visual reasoning). Pro adds GPT Image 2.5 Flare (up to 50% faster than GPT Image 2 with sharper detail) and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst (the most detailed), both with Extra High and Max generation quality. Stability AI: Stable Image Core (free): fast, high quality, best value. Pro adds Stable Image Ultra (best quality), SD 3.5 Large / Large Turbo / Medium / Flash, SD 3 Large / Large Turbo / Medium, and SDXL 1.0 (legacy). Grok / xAI: Grok Imagine Image (free, $0.02/image) and Grok Imagine Image Pro (Pro, $0.07/image). Google Gemini (Pro only): Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (fixed resolutions), Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview (1K/2K/4K), and Gemini 3 Pro Image Preview (best quality, 1K/2K/4K). All support 10 aspect ratios.
21 built-in styles that work with all providers: None, Realistic, Artistic, Cartoon, Minimalist, Sketch, Watercolor, 3D Render, Pixel Art, Cyberpunk, Fantasy, Anime, and Technicolor, plus the Trending group: Toy Figure, Miniature World, Claymation, Cinematic, Lo-Fi Cozy, Vintage Instant Photo, Magazine Collage, and Paper Cut. With Stability AI you also get a Stability Presets group of 16 native API-level presets: Photographic, Cinematic, Anime, Digital Art, Comic Book, Fantasy Art, 3D Model, Analog Film, Enhance, Isometric, Line Art, Low Poly, Neon Punk, Origami, Pixel Art, and Tile Texture. Pro users can also create unlimited custom styles (see below).
Yes. Go to AI Images → Settings → Brand & Styles → Custom Styles, click "Add Style", and enter a name plus a prompt description (e.g. "in a dreamy impressionist style"). Custom styles appear in all style dropdowns and work exactly like built-in styles.
One global set of brand rules that keeps every AI image on-brand. Go to AI Images → Settings → Brand & Styles and save up to 3 brand colors, a style description, a tone, and avoid-rules; optionally add a reference image (used by Google Gemini to match your visual style) and a logo watermark with position, size, opacity, and margin controls. The kit is applied automatically wherever you generate: post editor, Bulk Generate, the Posts list, and the AI Image Generator block. The post editor, Bulk Generate, and the block each have a "Use Brand Kit" checkbox you can uncheck for a one-off image; the Posts list always applies the kit.

Yes, with a Stability AI API key. Once a featured image is set, a "Stability AI Tools" panel appears in the post editor with three modes: Conservative (faithful 4x), Creative (AI-enhanced 4K), and Fast (quick 4x). Conservative and Creative process asynchronously and may take up to ~3 minutes; the result automatically becomes your new featured image.
