Cover Artist
Cover Artist helps editors create cover art and inline art for posts using AI services they configure with their own API keys. It can review article context, create an image prompt, call a selected AI image service, download the resulting image, compress it, and attach it to the post in the WordPress media library. The plugin currently supports multiple AI image backends (including OpenAI and Google Gemini) and integrates directly with the WordPress media library so that generated artwork is treated just like any other image in your site. Current defaults use OpenAI’s Responses API with GPT-5.6 Luna, Terra, and Sol available for text tasks. OpenAI image generation uses the Images API with a dedicated GPT Image selector that defaults to GPT Image 2. Google Gemini uses the stable Interactions API with Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite, Gemini 3.5 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, and the Nano Banana 2 image family. When generating with OpenAI, the media modal now exposes configurable image quality plus preset or custom sizes that follow GPT Image size constraints. The default cover-art request uses a 3:2 size at medium quality, while inline image workflows can switch to smaller or custom dimensions. Key features Generate AI-powered cover art directly from the post editor. NEW: Quick Inline Image Button in block editor (Paragraph/Heading/Image blocks) for instant inline image generation and insertion. Block toolbar, inserter, and slash command support for rapid access. Smart context gathering from nearby blocks for better prompts. Editor notices for errors and API key status (no more alerts). Engine/orientation/art style preferences persist via localStorage. Button disables if API keys missing. Create inline art for use inside post content. Generate reviewable editorial draft plans and draft posts from your own brief. Optionally use an existing editable post as style inspiration when creating a draft plan. Use inferred descriptions from your article or write your own prompts. Choose from different visual styles when generating art. Automatically save generated images to the media library. Works anywhere the standard media modal is available in the editor.
