PixelPanda AI Image Tools
PixelPanda AI Image Tools
Description
PixelPanda AI Image Tools connects your WordPress site to PixelPanda, an AI image platform for e-commerce, and lets you process images without leaving wp-admin:
- Remove background — clean cutouts with transparent PNG output
- Upscale 2x / 4x — AI super-resolution for crisp product photos and print
- AI enhance — fix blur, color and sharpness in one click
- Remove text & watermarks — strip stamps, labels and overlaid text
Works from three places:
- Media Library — hover any image for one-click actions, or select many and use Bulk actions.
- WooCommerce Products — bulk-process every image of the selected products (featured + gallery).
- Attachment details — see which images were processed.
Results are saved as new images by default (originals untouched). Optionally replace originals in place — a backup is kept and one click restores it.
Pricing
Processing runs on PixelPanda credits (1 credit per image for all operations above). Credits never expire. A $1.99 starter pack is available with no subscription. See pixelpanda.ai/pricing.
External services
This plugin sends images to the PixelPanda API (https://pixelpanda.ai) for processing. The image (as a public URL or the image data itself), your API key, and your site URL (in the User-Agent header) are transmitted when you run an operation — nothing is sent automatically. Processed images are stored on PixelPanda’s CDN and downloaded back into your Media Library.

Screenshots

Remove background — every result is a transparent PNG, saved as a new attachment by default.

AI upscale — a 350px supplier photo rebuilt at 1392px, with detail preserved for print.

Remove text, stamps and promo overlays from marketplace photos.

AI enhance — fix dark, blurry, heavily compressed product shots in one click.
Faq
No — by default every result is saved as a new attachment. If you switch to replace mode, the original file is backed up and can be restored from the Media Library row actions.
Settings (your API key and the default mode) are stored as WordPress options. In replace mode, one copy of the untouched original is kept in uploads/pixelpanda-ai-image-tools/, resolved at runtime with wp_upload_dir() and protected from direct access; the file name is referenced from attachment meta so you can restore it later. Nothing is written to plugin, theme or core folders. On uninstall the options and meta are removed, and the folder is deleted when it no longer holds any originals — stored originals themselves are kept, because for replaced images they are the only remaining copy of your file.
Yes. WooCommerce only adds the product bulk actions; the Media Library integration works on any WordPress site.
No, credits roll over forever.
Reviews
Changelog
1.0.1
- Originals kept in replace mode are now stored in a dedicated, access-protected folder inside the uploads directory (resolved with
wp_upload_dir()) instead of beside the attachment file. - Backups are written through
WP_Filesystemand referenced by file name only, so a stored value can never resolve outside the plugin’s own folder. - Uninstall removes the plugin’s post meta and the backup folder when it holds no originals.
1.0.0
- Initial release: background removal, 2x/4x upscale, AI enhance, text removal; Media Library row + bulk actions; WooCommerce product bulk actions; replace-with-backup mode.
