Description
LS – AI Image Pipeline is a professional image processing toolkit that lives inside the WordPress Media Library. It is built for photographers, designers, and content creators who need an automated, high-quality image workflow without leaving WordPress.
The plugin combines state-of-the-art AI image enhancement with a flexible file workflow and an optional SFTP bridge to remote servers.
Key Features
- AI Image Upscaling: Enhance image resolution up to 4x using Real-ESRGAN via the Replicate API.
- SFTP Transfer: Send original or processed images to remote servers using the native PHP
ssh2extension. - Bulk Processing: Run upscaling, resizing, conversion, and SFTP transfers on many images at once.
- Multiformat Conversion: Convert images between JPG, PNG, and WEBP to optimize for the web.
- Smart Renaming: Sanitize and rename image files while keeping WordPress metadata in sync.
- Interactive Media UI: A comparison slider to view AI enhancements side-by-side with the original.
External services
AI upscaling is performed through the third-party Replicate API (https://replicate.com/). You bring your own Replicate API token; image data you choose to upscale is sent to Replicate for processing. Please review Replicate’s terms of service and privacy policy: https://replicate.com/terms and https://replicate.com/privacy.

FAQ
-
Do I need a Replicate API key?
-
Yes. To use the AI upscaling feature you need an API token from Replicate.
-
What is required for SFTP transfer?
-
SFTP transfer uses the native PHP
ssh2extension. If your server does not have thessh2extension installed, the upscaling, conversion, resizing and renaming features still work; only the remote SFTP transfer will be unavailable. -
Does upscaling send my images to an external service?
-
Yes. Images you choose to upscale are sent to the Replicate API for processing. No image data leaves your site unless you trigger an upscale or an SFTP transfer.
