# How to activate featured images?

During task creation in the wizard, you can enable **automatic featured images**. You have options for the image source:

* Main affiliate module
* Pixabay images
* Main module for product articles + Pixabay for informational articles

Also you can set **external featured images** instead of saving them in the WordPress gallery. To do this, go to `Content Egg > Settings > General` and activate the '`External featured images`' option.

Note that **Pixabay** does not allow hotlinking for images, so Pixabay images will be saved locally in any case. Be aware that images and thumbnails can take up a considerable amount of space on your hosting's hard drive.
