Roadmap
Planned CoverKit features. Order is indicative, not a release schedule.
Use cases and outputs
Section titled “Use cases and outputs”- Additional social use cases — Built-in outputs for common share sizes beyond Open Graph, such as Pinterest, LinkedIn, YouTube thumbnails, and podcast cover art.
- Preset-driven output profiles — Use cases or recommended dimensions tied to canvas presets (Story, Square, Twitter, and similar) so templates match platform expectations out of the box.
- Email header use case — Newsletter and email-header image output with appropriate dimensions and mapping.
- Watermark use case — Optional branded overlay on generated images for previews or exports.
Template assignment and rules
Section titled “Template assignment and rules”- Use-case conditions — Category, taxonomy, and similar rules in the template editor so a template applies only when content matches.
- Taxonomy and archive assignment — Broader template selection for taxonomy terms and archive views, building on today’s archive and search toggles.
Integrations
Section titled “Integrations”- SEO plugin coordination — Integrations with Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and similar plugins so CoverKit Open Graph images work alongside existing SEO meta.
Editor and rendering
Section titled “Editor and rendering”- Post-aware file cache invalidation — Improve CoverKit’s on-server image cache so generated files stay fast to serve, but automatically refresh when you update a post—title, author, featured image, or other mapped fields—without manually clearing template cache. Open Graph and other use-case images should match the latest content as soon as the post is saved, while unchanged posts keep reusing their cached files.
- SVG and raster asset pipeline — More reliable import and rendering of SVG and raster assets in the image generator.
- Editor overwrites — Preview different field mappings in the template editor using a secure link with query parameters, so you can try alternate bindings without saving changes to your use case. Overrides apply only when the link includes a valid WordPress nonce, keeping saved settings safe from casual URL tampering.
- Edit Template button in preview — Jump straight from an image preview to the template behind it with a new Edit Template button. Hover over the preview to reveal the centered button, then click to open the template and tweak the design without searching for the right one first.
- Multi-page templates — Create multi-page templates in CoverKit, so one template can generate a coordinated set of visuals instead of only a single asset. For example, a campaign, article, or product update could produce several matching pages/screens from the same context and design system.
- Block expiration and refresh — Set expiration rules for individual template blocks, so time-sensitive parts of a generated asset can automatically refresh the next time CoverKit generates output. For example, a pricing badge, event date, offer text, news snippet, or campaign block could be regenerated when it becomes outdated, while the rest of the design stays intact.
