Cloud-to-CMS image synchronization for WordPress & Shopify. Connect Lightroom, Canva, Figma, Dropbox, Shutterstock & AI — update once, sync everywhere.

== 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. 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

* **Figma** — Browse teams, projects, and files; sync individual frames as images  
* **Dropbox** — Browse folders, preview images, and sync files directly

* **Shopify Files** — Sync images directly to your Shopify store's Files library for products, collections, and themes  

= Key Features =

* **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.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need API keys? =  
No. Secure OAuth authentication is handled through the LightSync broker.

= What happens when I edit an image in Lightroom, Canva, or Figma? =  
Re-sync it. The existing WordPress attachment updates in place without changing the attachment ID or breaking layout references.

= Can I sync to both WordPress and Shopify at the same time? =  
Yes. Choose "Both" as your sync destination.

= Where are my images stored? =  
Images are stored locally in your WordPress Media Library or Shopify Files library. LightSync Pro does not store your images on its servers — the broker only handles authentication and sync coordination.

= Does syncing slow down my site? =  
No. Images are stored locally in your Media Library and optimized with WebP compression.

= How does AI image generation work? =  
Connect OpenRouter, enter a prompt, choose from 400+ AI models, and generate images directly in WordPress. Generated images sync just like cloud sources.

= How does Shutterstock sync work? =  
LightSync Pro syncs images you've already licensed. It does not purchase new licenses.
