Title: Double image generation Last modified: June 2, 2026 --- # Double image generation * Resolved [ernexto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ernexto/) * (@ernexto) * [6 days, 22 hours ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/double-image-generation/) * Hello, I’m starting to use AI Puffer and it’s really great. I wrote a test article using two AIs (DeepSeek for text and Nano Banana 2 for images). The article was compiled perfectly, but in the log I see it generated two images, which doubled the cost for that generation. Is it a bug**,** or am I missing something?

Hope you like it. * In Content Writer, there are two separate image options: * – Content image: inserted inside the article – Featured image: used as the WordPress featured image/post thumbnail * If the image setting is set to Content + Featured, it will generate two images: one for the article body and one for the featured image. That means the image model is called twice, so the cost is also counted twice. * Could you pls confirm whether this was the case? Did you set both or only Content? * If you only want one image, please set the image option to either Content or Featured, instead of Content + Featured. * One note: the Usage screen can make this look a little confusing because both entries may show the same image prompt template. The actual generation is still two separate requested images. I will improve the labeling there so it is clearer which one is the content image and which one is the featured image. * Thread Starter [ernexto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ernexto/) * (@ernexto) * [6 days, 10 hours ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/double-image-generation/#post-18926585) * Oh, thank you. Yes it makes sense. I don’t have my PC here now, so I can’t check. Is it possibile to generate only one image and set it for both Featured and Content? * Plugin Author [senols](https://wordpress.org/support/users/senols/) * (@senols) * [4 days, 16 hours ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/double-image-generation/#post-18928327) * Yes, exactly. * At the moment, AI Puffer treats “Content image” and “Featured image” as two separate image outputs. This is intentional because some users want a different in-article image and a different featured/thumbnail image, often with different prompts. * But you are right: there should also be an option to generate one image and reuse it for both places. * Something like: * “Use the content image as the featured image” * That way the plugin would make only one image generation request, insert that image into the article, and also set the same image as the WordPress featured image. This would avoid the extra image cost. * Currently this option is not available, so the workaround is to generate only one image, then manually reuse it from the Media Library as the featured image or insert it into the content. * I will add this to our improvement list and see what i can do about it 🙂 * Plugin Author [senols](https://wordpress.org/support/users/senols/) * (@senols) * [4 days, 16 hours ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/double-image-generation/#post-18928328) * Yes, exactly. * At the moment, AI Puffer treats “Content image” and “Featured image” as two separate image outputs.
