This plugin lets you fetch first image of any post. It is fully configurable. You can crop an image or resize on the basis of its height, or width, or both.

Ataached/uploaded images might not be displayed in case of localhost.

Features over other plugins:

1. Can extract an image which is either on same server or on remote server
2. Can extract attached images
3. It can fetch first image from the post even if it is a video from 
	a) Youtube
	b) Vimeo
	c) Dailymotion
	d) Metacafe
	e) Veoh
4. You can use it to resize/crop an image instead of fetching it from any post.
