What it does
A plain image can only say so much. If you want to point out the features of a product, label the parts of a diagram or mark places on a travel photo, you usually end up writing long captions or stacking extra images. This plugin solves that by letting you drop pointers onto an image and attach tooltips, text and links to each one. Visitors trigger them with a click or a hover, so the extra information stays out of the way until someone wants it.
Everything happens in the Gutenberg block editor through a block-based setup, with no coding needed. Hotspots can pull live content from your own site, including WooCommerce products and blog posts, and can also display Amazon listings, so product details shown in a tooltip come from the source. Color pickers let you style pointers, tooltips and text to match your site, and the output is responsive and retina ready. It fits online stores, affiliate sites, bloggers and anyone building visual guides or image maps.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores presenting products in annotated photos
- Amazon affiliate bloggers featuring multiple products per image
- Educational and travel sites explaining diagrams, maps or photos
