Picment AI Featured Image Generator uses OpenAI’s DALL-E 3 or fal.ai’s Flux Pro models to automatically create beautiful, relevant featured images for your blog posts — saving you time and keeping your content visually consistent. Pick the provider that best fits your style, budget, and quality needs.

How It Works

Every time you publish a post, the plugin automatically generates a high-quality featured image based on your post’s title and content. You can also run bulk generation across all your existing posts from a single admin page.

Key Features

Auto-generate on publish — a featured image is created automatically when you publish a new post
Bulk generate — generate images for all existing posts from one admin page, with a real-time progress bar
Per-post control — enable or disable auto-generation per post via the sidebar metabox, and trigger generation manually with one click
Two AI providers to choose from — OpenAI DALL-E 3 or fal.ai Flux Pro (Flux Pro v1.1 Ultra 2K, Flux Pro v1.1, or Flux Dev)
DALL-E 3 quality — OpenAI’s flagship model for clean, on-prompt illustrations
fal.ai Flux Pro — photorealistic editorial-grade output, with optional sharp text rendering when “Allow text/logos” is enabled
Performance-optimized image settings — defaults use landscape output with standard quality for better featured-image fit and reasonable load speed
Custom prompt template — override the built-in prompt with your own using {title} and {content} placeholders
Images saved to Media Library — generated images are downloaded and stored in your WordPress media library
Block & FSE theme compatible — works with all modern WordPress themes
BYOK mode — bring your own OpenAI or fal.ai API key (free, rate-limited to 10 requests/min)
Subscription plans — buy monthly credits (Starter, Pro, Agency) for high-volume use without managing your own API key

Billing Modes
