Over the years, Essential Blocks has been powering up web designers all over the world with its powerful blocks and features. Thank you for being a part of our amazing journey. Your trust, support and creativity have fueled our journey, and we are deeply grateful to have you with us.

We, the Essential Blocks team, have worked tirelessly to make the Gutenberg website-building experience more powerful and seamless. With the valuable feedback and suggestions from our users, we have earned your trust and enriched the block library with amazing features, continually inspired to create even more tools that help you build better websites.

Our Journey to 200K+ Users, Together with You

In 2018, Essential Blocks started its journey with the purpose of powering up the WordPress default Gutenberg editor. The goal was to create a plugin that would allow Gutenberg users to create an amazing website easily without any coding expertise. In this way, anybody can create and launch a website on their own.

Essential Blocks began with a clear vision to make Gutenberg more powerful, seamless and creator-friendly at a time when many were still uncertain about the future of the block editor. From the very beginning, the team focused on understanding the real challenges faced by WordPress creators, listening closely to feedback and turning those insights into solutions that remove obstacles and bring ideas to life. Every feature carries a piece of that journey born from user needs, hopes and creativity.

Backed by years of experience building Essential Addons for nearly 3 million users, the team saw an opportunity to bring the same innovation and reliability into Gutenberg. What started as a bold step of trust in the block editor has now grown into a library powering over 200,000 websites worldwide. This milestone is not just a number; it is a shared achievement between the team and its community.

Today, Essential Blocks stands as one of the most impactful additions to the Gutenberg ecosystem, built with passion care and a commitment to empowering creators. With 70+ advanced blocks and 3,000+ ready templates, the journey has been full of challenges, growth and innovation, but with every milestone, the focus remains the same: to continue shaping the future of WordPress design together with its users.

With its amazing AI features, users can now build a website faster than ever. What are those amazing features? Here is a short overview of it. 

Write Smarter, Faster And Better with AI

Thinking about blog content or long-form content on your website? Essential Blocks got your back. With its ‘Write with AI’ feature, you can now easily generate any content on your website instantly. By enabling this feature from your Essential Blocks dashboard, you will find the option to write with AI inside your block editor. Then, you can choose the title, keywords, write prompt and set the length and tonality of the content. After that, AI will automatically generate entire content for you within minutes. No need to worry about writing from scratch for your website. 

Enhance Input Fields with AI Content

Besides posts/ pages, you can also generate rich snippets and input fields content with AI. Choose your preferred block and if you want to add content within it, then AI is there. For example, you chose the ‘Heading’ block for your website and want to add an interesting and eye-catching headline for a landing page. With the Essential Blocks AI feature, you can write or select a prompt and set the tonality and length. The AI will automatically generate an interesting heading for the website. 

Create Stunning Images with AI

Are Essential Blocks limited only to writing content with AI? Not really. You can also generate images with AI right inside your block editor. This feature comes up with a lot of options to choose from different image options. From choosing an AI model to output compression, Essential Blocks generates an image with an AI feature that gives you full control over creating AI-generated images. No matter which type of website you are trying to build, this feature will create the image based on your specific niche within minutes.

With this extension, you can control what users see based on your preferred conditional logic. It lets you add multiple custom conditions and each serving a specific purpose to show or hide any content on your page.
