Use local tools immediately, then connect only the AI or stock services that make sense for your site and your provider budget.
Start with free stock search, reuse your own library, or connect the image model you already use.
Use normal WordPress image editors—no required CDN, S3 bucket, paid account, or Cyphex server.
Find missing or weak descriptions, keep human review, and preserve intentionally decorative images.
Turn an unmanageable uploads folder into a reviewable, safer media system.
Cyphex Image Hunter is built to run on standard WordPress hosting without requiring third-party cloud processing or licensing gates. Review the environment matrix below:
| Server Requirement | Specification |
|---|---|
| PHP Version | PHP 7.4 - 8.3+ |
| Image Libraries | GD Library or Imagick extension |
| Permissions | Write access to wp-content/uploads/ |
| API Connections | cURL support for optional AI engines |
We test against the core WordPress APIs to ensure compatibility with major editor environments and catalog tools:
| Plugin / Theme Builder | Support Level |
|---|---|
| Gutenberg (Block Editor) | Supported natively |
| Classic Editor & TinyMCE | Full compatibility |
| WooCommerce & Varied Galleries | Dedicated integration |
| Elementor / Divi / Page Builders | Tested & safe |
Yes. The plugin is GPL-licensed and distributed freely from WordPress.org. There is no paid tier, license activation, artificial quota, or required Cyphex account. Optional external providers may charge their own account.
No. The plugin works with the normal WordPress Media Library and local image editor. External storage remains optional for advanced sites.
The interface checks the active WordPress image editor. Unsupported formats are hidden or explained, while the original image remains available.
Supported file-changing workflows create an original backup first and expose recovery where that backup is available.
Install the free plugin, scan your library, and use only the tools your site supports.
