## 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 `ssh2` extension.
 * **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.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `ls-ai-image-pipeline` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory,
    or install it through the WordPress plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Navigate to **Tools > LS Image Pipeline** to configure your Replicate API token
    and (optionally) your SFTP credentials.

## FAQ

### Do I need a Replicate API key?

Yes. To use the AI upscaling feature you need an API token from [Replicate](https://replicate.com/).

### What is required for SFTP transfer?

SFTP transfer uses the native PHP `ssh2` extension. If your server does not have
the `ssh2` extension 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.
