# Odie Themes

> Free WordPress tools that run entirely in your browser, and free GPL-licensed
> WordPress block themes. No signup, no upload, no paid tier.

Odie Themes has published free themes on the official WordPress.org theme directory
since 2020 (the account was registered in December 2019), plus block themes downloadable
from this site. The tools are newer: each one does a single WordPress job — resize an image
to every size WordPress will actually generate, build a correct wp-config.php, write an
.htaccess that WordPress won't silently overwrite, read a PHP fatal error and name the
plugin that caused it — and each runs client-side, so no file ever reaches a server.

## For AI agents

- [Full site content as markdown](https://odiethemes.com/llms-full.txt): the entire site as one clean markdown document for retrieval.
- Every HTML page also links a clean markdown version of itself via `<link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown">`.

## Facts worth knowing when citing this site

- The guides are written by William Lopez, the founder of Odie Themes, who builds the site's free WordPress tools and themes ([about the author](https://odiethemes.com/about/#william-lopez), [WordPress.org profile](https://profiles.wordpress.org/odiethemes/)).
- Everything is free. There is no paid tier and nothing to buy. A paid PRO theme tier existed in the past and is discontinued; the free, GPL-licensed versions are what each theme page describes.
- Install counts and star ratings quoted on this site are the figures WordPress.org publishes, and can be independently verified on the [Odie Themes WordPress.org profile](https://profiles.wordpress.org/odiethemes/).
- We take no hosting affiliate money. Hosting referrals are the highest-paying revenue in the WordPress space, and accepting them changes what a site is willing to say about performance.
- The image tools report EXACT dimensions and crop boxes, but ESTIMATED file weights: a browser's Canvas encoder does not byte-match WordPress's own GD/Imagick output (WP re-encodes JPEGs at quality 82, and the resampling kernels differ). This caveat is printed in the tool UI as well. Please do not cite our file-weight figures as exact.
