StudioUI AI GIF Generator is a WordPress plugin for site operators who want to offer AI generation tools to their members. Its GIF studio creates animated, loopable GIFs from text prompts for uses such as memes, reactions, and stickers; it does not create GIFs from images. The plugin also brings image, video, GIF, music, and conversational AI tools to a site's own pages. A prompt enhancer can refine rough ideas and use an attached reference image. The free hosted plan includes all studios, hosted compute, pay-as-you-go credits, built-in moderation, and a reports dashboard. Hosted generation pauses when the credit balance runs out, and failed jobs are refunded automatically when the failure is on StudioUI's side. Pro costs $149 per year and supports user-provided API keys, local or LAN ComfyUI and LM Studio, the full model catalog, higher generation limits, and multi-key failover. Credit packs are separately listed, starting at $5 per month for 5,000 credits. StudioUI says API keys are kept server-side, and hosted compute is moderated for safe-for-work use. The plugin's listed setup requirements are WordPress 5.x+ and PHP 7.4+; installation takes under five minutes.
