Description
Pendid AI Studio is an admin-only WordPress client for the Pendid AI Studio service. It lets an administrator connect a WordPress site to a Pendid account and create or edit website-ready images from the dashboard.
Image generation, editing, account access, feature availability, model availability, credit pricing, credit balance, and plan limits are provided by the external Pendid service at https://studio.pendid.com. Generated files are delivered from https://media.pendid.com. The WordPress plugin does not contain a separate premium codebase or local paid-feature unlock system. Service availability and limits are determined by the connected Pendid account.
The WordPress integration requires an eligible Pendid account and available credits. Some capabilities may vary by the connected Pendid plan. Current pricing and access information are received from Pendid Studio, and the Pendid server remains authoritative when a generation or edit request is processed.
Connection is completed through Pendid Studio in the browser. You do not copy or paste an access token. WordPress stores an internal plugin token for later requests, and the token is never displayed.

External services
This plugin relies on Pendid services for account connection, authentication, account status, service-plan and credit validation, capability configuration, current pricing information, image generation, editing, reference-image processing, optional Brand Kit application, generated-media delivery, and token revocation.
No generation or editing request is made until an administrator explicitly connects the site and starts an action. After connection, administrative Pendid screens may request current account/configuration information so the plugin can display the connected account’s service availability, limits, balance, and pricing.
Pendid Studio — https://studio.pendid.com
Used for connection and approval, authentication, connected-account status, service-plan and credit validation, capability configuration, current pricing information, generation and editing, reference-image processing, optional Brand Kit application, generated-asset registration, and token revocation.
Data sent may include:
- Site URL, WordPress admin URL, site label, administrator locale, and a one-time connection state during connection.
- The internal plugin token in the Authorization header for authenticated Pendid requests.
- Prompt or edit instruction, website purpose, internal image format, selected model tier, output size, output file format, visual mood, and related generation options.
- Optional reference images selected by the administrator, up to the service-provided account limit.
- A request to apply the Brand Kit stored in the connected Pendid account. The plugin does not download or store the Brand Kit locally.
- For edits, the Pendid source-image URL and source key required to identify the image being edited.
Data received from Pendid Studio may include connected-account information, current credit balance, service-plan information, capability availability, input limits, available model tiers, available image sizes, current credit pricing, generated-asset metadata, and generation billing information.
Reference images, generated images, and related request data may be processed or retained according to the Pendid Privacy Policy and Terms.
Pendid Media — https://media.pendid.com
Used to deliver generated files and edit-source images. The plugin validates generated output against this host before saving it to the Media Library.
Privacy Policy: https://pendid.com/privacy-policy/
Terms: https://pendid.com/terms/
Privacy
Pendid AI Studio does not collect visitor analytics and does not add public-site tracking.
Data sent to Pendid may include site and admin URLs, site label, administrator locale, one-time connection state, prompts or edit instructions, purpose and format selections, selected model tier, output size and format, visual mood, optional reference images, optional Brand Kit request, source-image information, and the internal plugin token in the Authorization header.
The plugin does not send WordPress administrator passwords, visitor information, analytics, post contents, existing Media Library files that the administrator did not explicitly select for the operation, or public frontend activity.
WordPress stores the internal plugin token, connected account information, connection date, short-lived administrator transients, and successful generated or edited images. The token is stored in a non-autoloaded option and is not displayed.

FAQ
-
Do I need a Pendid account?
-
Yes. Generation and editing run through Pendid Studio. The WordPress integration requires an eligible Pendid account and available credits. Feature availability and limits are managed by the Pendid service.
-
No. The WordPress plugin is a single GPL-licensed codebase. Image generation is provided by the external Pendid service, and the connected Pendid account determines available service capabilities, limits, and credit pricing.
-
Does the plugin define image-generation prices locally?
-
No. Current credit pricing is received from Pendid Studio. The Pendid server remains authoritative at generation time, including any model or image-size pricing that applies to the request.
-
Do I have to paste an access token?
-
No. The browser connection flow creates the internal token automatically. WordPress stores it locally and never displays it.
-
Can I use reference images?
-
Yes. You can optionally send JPG, PNG, or WebP reference images. The maximum number is returned by Pendid for the connected account. Each image is limited to 8 MB and the WordPress upload limit. Reference images are sent to Pendid for the requested generation and are not automatically copied into the WordPress Media Library.
-
Which image sizes and models are available?
-
The plugin receives the currently available models, image sizes, limits, and access information from Pendid Studio. Some service capabilities may vary by the connected Pendid account.
-
Can I use my Pendid Brand Kit?
-
When Brand Kit is available to the connected Pendid account, the plugin can ask Pendid Studio to apply it. Brand Kit data itself is managed by Pendid Studio; the plugin sends the request to use it but does not store the Brand Kit locally.
-
Are generated images saved to WordPress?
-
Yes. Each successful generation or edit becomes a normal Media Library attachment. A generated copy also remains available through Pendid as a backup.
-
Can I edit an image?
-
Yes. You can edit the latest result with a focused text instruction. A successful edit creates a new attachment and leaves the original unchanged.
-
Does the plugin affect the public site?
-
No. It is admin-only and adds no frontend scripts, styles, markup, visitor analytics, or tracking.
-
Are image results guaranteed?
-
No. Results may vary according to the prompt, references, selected options, model, and service availability.
-
What happens when I disconnect?
-
The plugin attempts to revoke the remote token and then clears the local connection. If revocation fails, WordPress is still disconnected locally.
-
What should I do before deleting the plugin?
-
Use Settings > Disconnect site first so the plugin can attempt remote token revocation. Generated Media Library attachments are not removed.
-
Where can I get support?
-
Email info@pendid.com.
