Automatically generate beautiful blog covers and social media images from your WordPress content.
ImageFeaty composes branded Featured / Open Graph / Twitter / LinkedIn images from a
post's title, category, author, date, brand logo and colours the moment it's
published — then injects the matching social meta tags into your <head>.
Canva-style automation, built natively for WordPress.
Free, GPL-licensed WordPress plugin. All features included — no paywall.
- Auto-generation on publish/update via a background WP-Cron job.
- 5 template packs — SaaS, News, Creator, Tech Split, Business Pro.
- GD rendering engine with gradients, rounded shapes, drop shadows, browser frames, word-wrapping & auto-fitting text — no external service required.
- Brand kit: logo, primary/secondary/accent/text colours, font selection.
- Screenshot engine with a pluggable driver layer (external API or local).
- Bulk & regeneration processed through a memory-safe batched queue.
- JPG / PNG / WebP output, multiple sizes (1200×630, 1200×675, 1080×1080, 1920×1080, custom).
- WordPress 6.2+
- PHP 8.1+
- GD extension (with FreeType for crisp text; WebP for
.webpoutput)
# from wp-content/plugins
git clone <repo> imagefeaty
# optional: composer install (a built-in PSR-4 autoloader is used otherwise)Activate ImageFeaty in Plugins, then visit ImageFeaty → Brand Kit.
Fonts: drop TTF files into
assets/fonts/(see that folder's README). Without them ImageFeaty falls back to GD's bitmap font, so rendering never breaks — text just looks plainer.

Design principles: OOP, constructor dependency injection through a small
Container, a service layer for behaviour, the repository pattern for data, and
declarative templates that paint onto a reusable Canvas. The rendering core is
WordPress-agnostic and unit-testable in isolation.
| Hook | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
imagefeaty_is_pro |
filter | Feature gate (defaults to all-unlocked); kept for forks/add-ons. |

The rendering core has no WordPress dependency, so it can be exercised headlessly
(see docs/PRD.md → Testing). All five templates produce valid images at every
size, including WebP.
