Description
Better image handling capabilities for WordPress.
All you need to handle your images in WordPress in one plugin.
YoImages adds functional enhancements to the WordPress admin interface:
- Image cropping tools: no more images cropped wrong, you can choose now what to display and even replace the entire image for a specific crop size if the orginal image doesn’t fit. Crop at a lower quality to speed up page loading. Create croppings in retina format too.
- Image SEO hooks: images are important for SEO but are never optimized enough. With YoImages you can automatically optimize images for Search Engines. No more alt tag missing or non informative titles or file names. Google can’t see the image (yet) but, can read its attributes.
- Free stock photos search: Search and upload royalty free photos from the web directly into the WordPress Admin interface.
Image cropping tools
YoImages’ cropping tools let you crop manually each cropping format that your theme defines: this feature gives you full control on how cropped versions of your images will look like.
You can choose to replace the source image for some specific formats.
From the image cropping interface you can change the image quality for each cropped format.
YoImages cropping is retina friendly: if you are using a retina plugin that uses the standard @2x as file naming convention when creating retina images from source (e.g. WP Retina 2x) you can enable the retina friendly cropping option in YoImages’ settings page and the manual crops will be created in retina format too.
Image SEO hooks
YoImages’ SEO hooks automate image metadata (title, alt and filename) filling on image upload and on post (or page) saving.
Each image SEO hook can be enabled or disabled individually and it works on any image that is child of a post or page such as the featured image and images or galleries added into the post WYSIWYG area.
You are free to define metadata values by using fixed texts and the following variables from the post/page that contains an image:
- parent post title
- parent post type
- parent post tags
- parent post categories
- parent post author username
- parent post author first name
- parent post author last name
- site name
Note: you can add your own custom hooks and your own custom variables.
Free stock photos search
YoImages’ free stock photos search feature lets you perform a free term search directly from the WordPress admin interface in the following databases:
* splashbase.co
* unsplash.com
The photos you select are uploaded into your WordPress site and optimized with YoImages’ crop and SEO tools.
Photos from splashbase.co and unsplash.com are hi-res and free to use, but we recommend checking copyright details for each photo you choose.
Note: you can also add other search providers.
