Generate Images (AI) – Magic Post Thumbnail vs Shortcodes Ultimate – Content Elements

Magic Post Thumbnail generates images for your posts — as featured images or inside the content — from image sources and AI models. Free searches can use the post title or text analysis. Pro adds tags, categories, custom fields, custom requests and the OpenAI keyword extractor. You pick a fallback chain of image sources: if the first source fails, the next one is tried. Photo sources: Bing Images, Pixabay, Openverse, Flickr, Unsplash, Pexels, YouTube. AI sources: GPT Image, Stable Diffusion, Replicate, Ideogram, Flux 2, Gemini (Nano Banana), Grok. Optional style presets (photorealistic, cinematic, “no text”…) apply to AI sources only. You can also use the first image already in the post, or a default fallback image, and optionally draw a title / logo bar on the generated file (off by default). Generate from the post editor, the posts list column, bulk actions, Gutenberg, or (Pro) cron and imports. Official Website Documentation What is included ?
