KXNotes Image Paste Optimizer
KXNotes Image Paste Optimizer streamlines image preparation for WordPress tutorial writers, independent bloggers, and content publishers.
It focuses on a repetitive part of writing: saving a screenshot, resizing it, converting it to a web-friendly format, renaming it, uploading it to the Media Library, adding alt text, and inserting it into the post.
After activation, you can paste or drag images directly into the Gutenberg editor. The plugin can:
- Detect clipboard screenshots and local image files.
- Resize images to a configured maximum width, with a default of 1200 pixels.
- Output WebP by default, with optional AVIF, JPEG, or original-format output.
- Upload processed images to the WordPress Media Library.
- Generate readable file names from the post title or nearest preceding heading.
- Fill image alt text automatically.
- Insert the image at the current editor position.
- Accept image drops on the Featured Image control.
- Process local uploads from an Image block.
- Import a remote Image block URL into the Media Library.
Who is it for?
- Authors who regularly write software, website, plugin, or workflow tutorials.
- Bloggers who frequently capture administration screens, websites, tools, or applications.
- Publishers who want to reduce manual image compression, renaming, and alt-text work.
- Site owners who prefer local processing without a required third-party cloud service.
Privacy and external services
The plugin does not send images to a third-party server by default. It does not call an AI service, perform remote telemetry, or collect site URLs, post titles, image contents, or usage data.
Clipboard images and locally dragged files are processed in the current browser and then uploaded to your WordPress Media Library.
When you enter a remote image URL in an Image block and the browser cannot read that image directly, the plugin asks your own WordPress site to download and process the image through its REST endpoint. This request occurs only after you actively provide a remote image URL.
File names and alt text
The plugin provides two file-name modes:
- Pinyin slug: a predictable offline option for Chinese post titles.
- Local English slug: uses a bundled terminology map and falls back to Pinyin when it cannot make a reliable match.
Alt text uses the post title or nearest preceding heading and includes an image sequence number by default.
