## Description

**SketchValley Illustrations** adds a Gutenberg block that lets you search 1,000
+ free vector illustrations and insert them into any post or page — without ever
leaving the WordPress editor.

#### Features

 * Search 1,000+ free illustrations by keyword
 * Filter by style: Flat, 3D, Hand-drawn, Minimal, Sketch
 * Insert as PNG or SVG
 * Control max width from the block sidebar
 * Optional attribution caption (recommended)
 * No signup required — completely free
 * Files load directly from sketchvalley.com CDN

#### How to use

 1. Open any post or page in the block editor
 2. Click the **+** button to add a new block
 3. Search for **“SketchValley”**
 4. Type a keyword (e.g. “business”, “team”, “rocket”)
 5. Click any illustration to insert it
 6. Adjust width and format in the block sidebar

#### About SketchValley

[SketchValley](https://sketchvalley.com) is a free illustration library with 1,000
+ SVG and PNG vectors across flat, 3D, hand-drawn, and sketch styles. All illustrations
are free for personal and commercial use — no attribution required (though appreciated).

### External services

This plugin connects to the SketchValley API and CDN (sketchvalley.com), operated
by the same company that publishes this plugin, to provide the illustration search
and library.

 * **Search API**: While editing a post or page and using the SketchValley Illustration
   block, the keyword and style filter you type are sent to `https://sketchvalley.
   com/api/illustrations.php` to fetch matching results. This only happens in the
   block editor when you actively search; it is not called on the site frontend 
   and no personal data is collected.
 * **Image CDN**: The illustration images and SVG files themselves (both in the 
   block editor preview and on your published site) are loaded directly from sketchvalley.
   com’s CDN rather than bundled with the plugin.

This service is provided by SketchValley: [Terms of Service](https://sketchvalley.com/terms/),
[Privacy Policy](https://sketchvalley.com/privacy/).

## FAQ

### Are the illustrations really free?

if you keep it on, but it is never forced.
