About LightSync Pro

From the official readme · v2.1.8

Description

LightSync Pro creates a cloud-to-CMS image pipeline for WordPress and Shopify.

Connect your creative tools, browse your cloud content inside WordPress, and sync images without downloading, renaming, or re-uploading anything — to WordPress and Shopify simultaneously. When a source image changes, simply re-sync to update it in place — without breaking attachment IDs, layouts, or product images.

Whether you’re a photographer publishing from Lightroom, a designer working in Canva or Figma, or a Shopify merchant managing product images — LightSync Pro eliminates the repetitive download-upload cycle with automatic compression and optional AI image generation.

No exports. No duplicate uploads. No broken links.

How It Works

  1. Connect — Authorize Lightroom, Canva, Figma, Dropbox, Shutterstock, or OpenRouter (AI) via secure OAuth
  2. Browse — View albums, designs, files, folders, licensed images, or generate AI images directly inside WordPress
  3. Choose Destination — Sync to WordPress, Shopify, or both simultaneously
  4. Sync — Images are optimized, compressed, and added to your Media Library or Shopify Files

All sources sync to both WordPress and Shopify in the free version — no upgrade required for multi-destination sync.

Why LightSync Pro Is Different

  • No manual downloads from Canva, Lightroom, or Dropbox
  • No duplicate uploads to WordPress or Shopify
  • No broken image links when updating hero or product images
  • No developer API keys required
  • Replace images in place without changing attachment IDs
  • Update once, sync everywhere

Supported Sources

  • Adobe Lightroom — Browse albums, select photos, choose rendition sizes, and sync with version history
  • Canva — Browse designs and sync individual pages as images
  • Figma — Browse teams, projects, and files; sync individual frames as images
  • Dropbox — Browse folders, preview images, and sync files directly
  • Shutterstock — Sync images you’ve already licensed with your Shutterstock subscription — no re-downloading required
  • AI Image Generation — Generate images using 400+ AI models via OpenRouter (Flux, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, Gemini, and more), then compress and sync directly to WordPress or Shopify

Sync Destinations

  • WordPress Media Library — Images sync as standard attachments, ready for posts, pages, WooCommerce products, and galleries
  • Shopify Files — Sync images directly to your Shopify store’s Files library for products, collections, and themes

Key Features

  • Cloud-Native OAuth — Secure broker-based authentication handles API credentials. No developer keys required.
  • Non-Destructive Updates — Re-sync an image and the existing attachment updates in place. All posts and products using it reflect the change automatically.

  • AI Image Generation — Generate images using 400+ AI models including Flux, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and Gemini via OpenRouter.

  • Background Sync — Large batches process in the background so you can continue working.
  • Activity Feed — Complete sync history with timestamps and details.
  • Weekly Digest — Email summary of sync activity for your team.
  • SEO-Friendly Custom Naming — Apply naming patterns and custom alt text rules across synced images.
  • Optimization Analytics — Track compression savings and image performance.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need API keys?

No. Secure OAuth authentication is handled through the LightSync broker.
