FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The ImageCraft plugin is free. Image compression runs locally on your server at no cost, and for AI you only pay your provider directly (or use your site's WordPress AI Client). The free plan includes up to 50 actions per day, shared across AI generation and compression; upgrade to Pro (from $39/yr) for unlimited actions, priority support, and multi-site licensing.
No. Compression is completely separate from AI generation — it doesn't touch your API key or use any AI tokens. ImageCraft compresses images with a local engine that runs on your own server using the image libraries WordPress already has (Imagick/GD). There's no per-image cost and no external service, so you can compress your entire library for free.
Yes. ImageCraft includes a built-in, quality-preserving compressor for JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP that runs entirely on your own server — no external service and no uploads to a third party. It strips bloated metadata, optionally downscales oversized images, and only keeps the result when it's actually smaller. Every original is backed up automatically, so you can restore any image with one click. Compress single images from the media modal or bulk-optimize your whole library.
Either works. ImageCraft supports the WordPress 7.0 native AI Client — if your site already has an AI connector configured, ImageCraft uses it automatically with no API key to manage. Prefer your own provider? Just add an Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT-4o, or Google Gemini key.
We recommend Anthropic Claude (claude-3-haiku) for the best quality at the lowest cost — about $0.0008 per image. OpenAI GPT-4o and Google Gemini 2.5 Flash are also supported.
Yes. Your API key is encrypted with AES-256-CBC using WordPress security keys and stored in your own database. It is only decrypted in memory when making API calls.
Yes! ImageCraft includes 3 WooCommerce-specific tones (SEO, Descriptive, Lifestyle) and automatically builds context from product name, category, and SKU — plus you can compress product and gallery images for a faster store.
Yes. The plugin supports 65+ languages including Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Tamil, Korean, and many more.
You can select up to 500 images using the scanner filters, then process them in configurable chunks (default: 5 per request) with real-time progress tracking.
Yes. By default, 'Preview before accept' is enabled — generated alt text stays in a pending state until you accept, edit, or reject it.
