ImgChanger — AI Image Replacement

Copyright claims over photographs are routine: a rights holder finds their image on someone else’s site and asks for compensation. The usual reaction is to delete the image — and then the page has a hole where the illustration used to be.

ImgChanger takes another route: the disputed image is replaced — by your own photograph or by a generated one. The page looks the way it did, and the other party’s photo is no longer on your site.

How it works

The plugin works with the media library. The attachment file is overwritten in place, so the attachment ID and every link to it keep working — the image updates at once everywhere it is used: in posts and pages, in WooCommerce products, in ACF fields, in featured images. Your content markup is never touched.

What it does

• Two ways to replace: upload your own image, or generate one. Uploading is free and needs no license key — often your own photo of the same object is the better answer anyway.
• Shows the original and the replacement side by side — you decide, and nothing on the site changes until you apply.
• Backs up the original and all of its generated sizes before every replacement.
• One-click rollback: the original file comes back byte for byte and the sizes are regenerated.
• Filters: not touched yet, ready to apply, already replaced.
• A usage map: the plugin scans the site once and then knows which entries show each image, so you can pick images by section — projects, posts, galleries — and see where a picture stands before replacing it. Attachment metadata alone does not answer this: WordPress only remembers where a file was uploaded, not where it is displayed.
• Quality settings: redraw strength and a ban on text inside the generated image.

What you need

The plugin talks to the imgchanger.org service, which does the generation. You need a license key: right in the plugin settings you can get a free key for 5 replacements by email — no card, no registration. Further replacements are paid.

What the plugin does not do

Replacements are produced by a neural network, so it is worth looking at the result before applying it — that is exactly why the original and the replacement are shown side by side. The plugin works with images from the media library; images hardcoded into a theme are out of its reach.

External services

The plugin relies on the ImgChanger service, and for buying replacement packs — on the YooKassa payment service.

ImgChanger (api.imgchanger.org) generates replacements and keeps the license balance. The plugin contacts it:

• when you press “Generate” — the selected image, the site’s domain name and the license key are sent;
• when a plugin page is opened (at most once a minute) and when you press “Check now” — the license key and the domain name are sent to get the remaining balance;
• when you request the free trial — the email address you enter and the domain name;
• on the settings page — to get the list of packs and prices (nothing about your site is sent);
• when you press “Pay” — the license key, the domain name and the chosen pack are sent, and the service returns the YooKassa payment page; after you come back, the plugin asks for the status of that payment by its number.

No personal data of your site’s visitors is collected or transmitted. Files attached to non-public entries (form submissions, requests, orders) are never sent.

YooKassa (yoomoney.ru) accepts card payments for replacement packs. Only when you press “Pay”, the browser goes to the YooKassa payment page; card details are entered there and never pass through your site or the plugin. The license owner’s email address is passed to YooKassa for the receipt.
