WordPress上で画像が探せて、差し込めることできることが便利。いちいち、他サイトで画像を探して、もしくは生成して、という手間が省けます。使い勝手だけでなく、画像のクオリティも高いのでとてもお勧めです。

画像生成AIツールはいくつか試したことがありますが、プロンプトの調整が面倒だったり、画像のトーンが合わずだったりで挫折していました。 このプラグインはWordPress上で直接動かせるだけでなく、「フラットデザイン」や「水彩画」など、自ブログのトンマナに合ったスタイルを選べるのが素晴らしいです。 たとえば、アイソメトリックの画像などはビジネス系の記事にぴったりで、ブログ全体のクオリティが一段階上がったように見えます。 また、アスペクト比が選べるのも地味にありがたいです。

アイキャッチを入れていないものがあることは把握しつつも調べる余力がなく放置していたところ、チェッカー機能でものの数秒で洗い出してもらえてとても助かりました!さっそく無料ポイントを使って画像生成を試してみましたが、ワンクリックでできてとても簡単でしたし、画像のクオリティも良かったので今後たくさん使っていきたいと思いました。他のツールと行ったり来たりせずWordPress内で完結できるのがとても便利です。ブログ運営の効率をアップさせたい人、画像選びに苦労している人に特におすすめしたいです。
