Description

Prodiseum – Create Banners Directly from Your Dashboard is the free edition of Keryx, a focused banner-building tool that works inside the WordPress dashboard.

Search Pexels and Pixabay from one interface, use your own Media Library images, add promotional text and a callout, fine-tune the background position, apply overlays, preview the composition live, and save the finished JPG directly to the Media Library.

The Free edition is intentionally complete for everyday banner creation. Keryx PRO is offered separately for users who need more advanced promotional typography and layered text effects.

FAQ

Do I need an API key?: Only for remote stock-image search. Pexels and Pixabay provide their own API keys. You can still use images from the WordPress Media Library without either API.
Can I use both Pexels and Pixabay?: Yes. You can search one provider or both and Keryx merges the results into one gallery.
Does the Free edition limit the number of banners?: No. There is no banner quota.
What is reserved for Keryx PRO?: Advanced promotional typography and layered text effects: extra display fonts, independent text layers, rotation, skew, outlines, advanced shadows, 3D extrusion, gradient text and related presets.
