Works just as expected

Great plugin! No problems, works just fine 🙂

The best
by DesignPuma·4 years ago

I tried a lot of plugins for SVG images, but none is good like this plugin. Greets to author, very powerful plugin. Especially is good for SVG width and height, it’s automatically set the width and high of SVG images. Thanks!

Thanks for time saving and lightweight plugin

I was looking all day for a replacement for Safe SVG.

ABSOLUTELY a lifesaver
by thinkthendo·6 years ago

I tested out a few other SVG plugins….they either were ineffective, mildly buggy, or crashed my site.

THIS plugin though…is not just stable, but it operates smoothly. And it is also not a resource hog.

It is wonderful.

I currently have he latest version of WordPress — 5.3.2 — and it works just fine, as of today. I have ajax, jquery, CSS, PHP…basically nothing super weird on my site.

I love this plugin. Highly recommended.
