I hear you—but Placid does support pushing generated images into your WordPress Media Library (so you don’t have to download/upload by hand). Their WP setup guide explicitly says you can “send them to your media library,” and their ACF/WordPress how-to shows the same “add to media library” flow. placid.app+1
A few quick clarifications:
-
Auto image upload to WP: Yes—Placid can generate images from templates and store them in the Media Library (optional). placid.app+1
-
Auto on publish / scheduled posts: In WordPress, anything tied to image generation should hook into
publish_post(fires for scheduled posts, too). Placid’s plugin handles automatic OG/social images; if you need guaranteed generation on scheduled publish plus multiple sizes (OG 1200×630 + Instagram 1080×1080) saved to Media Library every time, we can add a tiny helper that triggers Placid’s API ontransition_post_status. placid.app+1 -
Instagram posting: Instagram won’t read OG tags; you need the actual image file. With Placid saving to Media Library, you can auto-post via Make/Zapier → Instagram Business.
