Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ImageCraft – Image Optimizer, WebP/AVIF & AI Alt Text

Yes. Your API key is encrypted with AES-256-CBC using your WordPress security salts before being stored in the database. You can also define your key in wp-config.php using define('ICAIS_API_KEY', 'your-key'); to keep it out of the database entirely. Keys are never sent anywhere except to your chosen AI provider.

Image optimization (compression, WebP/AVIF, fallbacks) is completely free — it runs locally on your server with no account or credits. For AI features, connect your site's built-in WordPress AI or your own provider key — you pay only for API usage directly to your chosen provider. No per-image credits, no middleman markup.

Anthropic Claude Haiku offers the best balance of quality and cost for most sites. Google Gemini Flash is a strong lower-cost option. OpenAI GPT-4o produces excellent results. You can test each provider with the built-in connection test and switch anytime.

ImageCraft supports 17+ models across 3 providers. You can select the specific model per provider depending on your preferred balance of cost and quality.

Yes! ImageCraft has a dedicated WooCommerce dashboard. It sends product name, SKU, categories, and price as context to the AI. Includes 3 WooCommerce-specific tones (Product SEO, Product Descriptive, Product Lifestyle) and supports gallery image bulk generation.

Yes. If FileBird is installed, ImageCraft adds a folder filter to the media scanner so you can review and batch-process images inside a specific FileBird folder. It can also include the folder name as extra context in AI prompts for more specific alt text generation.

Yes. ImageCraft adds a "Generate with AI" button directly in the Gutenberg block editor sidebar and the WordPress media modal. You can preview, accept, or reject the generated text without leaving the editor.

Yes. ImageCraft uses AI to generate SEO-friendly filenames directly from image content — independent from alt text. Enable file renaming in settings and use the "Rename File" button on individual images.

Yes. ImageCraft includes a built-in image compressor that reduces file size while keeping images visually sharp. Compression runs 100% locally on your server — no external service and no per-image fees. You can compress a single image from the media modal, bulk-compress your whole library, and restore the original at any time.

No noticeable loss. ImageCraft uses visually-lossless settings — it strips unnecessary metadata and optimizes the image while preserving sharpness. It never enlarges images and only keeps the compressed version if it is actually smaller. Originals are backed up so you can restore them anytime.
