Product description
ThumbnailWP renders the featured and social image for any WordPress post automatically — no design tool required, no re-uploading the same asset for every article. Once installed, you’re the sole owner: everything renders on your own server, no external server, no third-party account, no dependency on our uptime.
Why “sized for what each platform actually needs”?
Social platforms don’t just need an image to exist — Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter each reject or badly crop an image that doesn’t match their real minimum size and ratio. An og:image tag being present doesn’t guarantee it actually displays. ThumbnailWP renders every image at the exact dimensions each aspect ratio family expects, not a single generic size.
One editor, live from the first click
Every template opens in the same screen — a live preview, a compact layer list, and an inspector panel that only shows what’s relevant to whatever’s selected. Drag directly on the canvas, or type exact values — the preview updates either way, and Check the real output confirms the exact server-rendered result at any time.

FAQ
Do I need any design skills to use it?
No — every template is built visually in the Template Editor, dragging layers directly on a live preview. Nothing to code or design externally.
Will this guarantee my image looks right when shared?
No tool can guarantee exactly how a platform renders a preview at a given moment, but ThumbnailWP renders every image at the exact size and ratio each platform expects, not a generic default.
Does it work with Meta Box and ACF?
Yes, both, as dynamic content sources — pull real fields directly into any layer.
Will it conflict with my SEO plugin?
No — ThumbnailWP writes its generated image directly into your SEO plugin’s own image field, only if it’s still empty.
Is there a limit on templates or Assignment rules?
No built-in limit on either.
What happens if I deactivate or delete the plugin?
Deactivating touches nothing. On removal, you choose: keep everything, remove settings only, or remove settings and every generated image.
