  • Indispensable

    Intégration parfaite du SVG : on peut modifier la couleur de ses icones, et on les retrouve dans la librairie média standard. Ce devrait être intégré dans Wordpress. Tous les plugins de cet auteur sont excellents.

  • Best SVG Plugin

    I have tested several SVG plugins, and this one seems to be the best of them all. Animations are even displayed directly in the block editor. It offers many customization options and optimal scaling. Top-notch!

  • Works Like a Charm

    This plugin adds some missing functionality that Gutenberg should have by default. It's great. The developer is also very receptive and quick in adding features.
