CreativeMash AI Image Studio

Description

CreativeMash AI Image Studio is an AI image generator built into WordPress. Set up your look once as a style, then make matching featured images and post images in a few clicks, without writing long prompts every time.

It’s for bloggers, businesses and agencies who want every image on a site to look like it belongs together.

How it works

1. Connect your OpenAI or Google account (the setup screen walks you through it).
2. Pick a ready-made style, or make your own from a few example images.
3. In any post, open the AI Featured Image panel, add an optional prompt, and click Generate. Save the one you like to the Media Library or set it as the featured image.

Features

• Styles hold your look: a style prompt, things to avoid, reference images (style, style guide, characters, logos, objects) and default output settings. Three ready-made styles are included, and styles can be exported and imported as ZIP files.
• AI Featured Image panel in the block editor, and a “Generate with AI” button in the Classic Editor’s Featured Image box. Uses the current, unsaved post content plus an optional prompt.
• Preview first. Nothing is added to the Media Library until you accept it. Refine, regenerate or discard freely.
• Studio page for making images without a post.
• Images page with everything made: open any image to see its prompt, copy it, or use it again in the Studio.
• OpenAI and Google Gemini, with a live model list and Auto choices. Sites using WordPress’s own AI connections (Settings > Connectors) can use those too.
• Optional extras (Settings > Features, each can be switched off): several images at once, live previews while the image is made, automatic alt text, “Draft from my reference images” on styles, extra images people add themselves, and voice input.
• Limits and reports: a daily image limit per person, activity reports, and optional estimated costs (off by default, always labelled as estimates).
• API keys stay on the server and are never sent to the browser.

You need your own API key from OpenAI or Google. Images are made, and billed, by that provider.

External services

This plugin connects to the services below. Nothing is sent until an administrator connects a service, and nothing about site visitors is ever sent.

OpenAI API

Makes images (and, if turned on, alt text and style drafts) when OpenAI is connected in Settings > AI connections.

• Sent when someone generates, refines or describes an image: the prompt and things to avoid, the style’s prompt, the post title and excerpt, the post text when “Use post content” is on, the style’s reference images and any images people add, the current image when refining, and the API key.
• Sent when connecting or refreshing the model list: the API key.
• Address: https://api.openai.com
• Terms: https://openai.com/policies/services-agreement/
• Privacy policy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/

Google Gemini API

Makes images (and, if turned on, alt text and style drafts) when Google is connected in Settings > AI connections.

• Sent: the same as for OpenAI above, to Google instead.
• Address: https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com
• Terms: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms
• Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

WordPress AI connections

When “WordPress AI” is chosen, the same data is passed to WordPress’s own AI connections (Settings > Connectors), which send it to the provider set up there under that provider’s terms.

Privacy

Images are made by the AI provider you connect, with your own API key and under their terms. You are responsible for following those terms and for what you publish.

What people type is kept with each image so it can be copied or used again from the Images page. Turn this off in Settings > Data & privacy > Keep prompts. It is removed with the reports history, and included in WordPress’s personal data export and erase tools. Post text is only kept with unsaved previews and is deleted with them.

Voice input uses the browser’s own speech recognition: Chrome and Edge send speech to Google, Safari to Apple. The plugin never stores audio.

Saved images are tagged as AI-made in the file (the standard IPTC tag), and the site can show the EU “AI Generated” badge on AI images, on top of them or in the file; both are in Settings > Features > AI label. Images from Google also include an invisible SynthID watermark. Suggested text for your privacy policy is added to Settings > Privacy > Policy Guide.
