FAQ

Everything you might want to know.

What is Image Hub?

Image Hub is a WordPress plugin that lets you search, filter, and import royalty-free images and GIFs directly from trusted sources, right inside your Media Library.

Which image sources does Image Hub connect to?

We integrate with these leading platforms:

  • Unsplash
  • Pexels
  • Pixabay
  • Openverse (for Creative Commons content)
  • Giphy (for GIFs)
Are the images free and licensed for commercial use?

Yes. All sources provide free images, most available for commercial use without attribution. However, always verify the terms for each image. We help you filter by license type when applicable.

Straight into your Media Library, like any image you upload yourself.

Not required. Nice if you want to, totally optional.

How do I ensure the right usage rights for images?

For platforms like Openverse, Image Hub offers license-based filtering. You can refine searches by license type (e.g., commercial use allowed), giving your team peace of mind. For the other platforms, always verify the terms for each image.

Where do imported images get stored?

Every imported image or GIF is saved directly into your WordPress Media Library and hosted on your server, ensuring full control over your content.

Does Image Hub support image filtering (size, color, orientation)?

Yes. Depending on the source, you can filter images by:

  • Color
  • Size (Small, Medium, Large)
  • Orientation (Horizontal, Vertical, Square)
  • Category (where available)
  • License type (Openverse)
Can I replace existing images on my site using Image Hub?

Yes. Select any image in the editor, click Replace → Open Media Library → Image Hub, and choose a new image from any connected source. Your original image is seamlessly replaced.

Do I need individual accounts for Pexels, Unsplash, etc.?

No. Image Hub connects via APIs. If your organization has specific API keys, you can add them for enhanced access and compliance.

Are there limits on how many images I can import?

Each source has API limits, but they are generally high enough for regular use. Heavy use scenarios (e.g., large enterprises) can add their own API keys to ensure uninterrupted access.

Will this affect website performance?

No. Image Hub operates within the WordPress admin area. Images are only downloaded when imported and hosted on your server. It does not impact frontend performance.

What if I can't find the right image?

Try refining your keywords or adjusting filters. You can also search across different sources or visit the platforms directly for broader options.
