The Featured Image Plugin for Obsidian automatically sets a featured image in the frontmatter of your notes based on the first image, YouTube link, or Auto Card Link it finds. This feature helps create visually rich note lists, similar to those in popular note-taking apps. The plugin supports local images, YouTube thumbnails, and Auto Card Link images, and it even offers bulk update commands to process all notes at once. With optimization features like debounced processing and smart caching, it ensures efficient performance across large vaults. You can also customize which folders to exclude or specify image formats, making it highly adaptable to your needs. Combine it with plugins like Dataview for a beautifully organized note list with previews. Whether you're organizing personal notes or creating a knowledge base, the Featured Image Plugin streamlines visual content management in Obsidian.
