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.

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. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9887a37b528e8e2b932c47703ad41fac1bb8cd89e32476d5cdb92f279496c52e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-8624/)󠁿 [milad](https://profiles.wordpress.org/miladcheraghi/) February 9, 2020 very perfect. thanQ [ Read all 14 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-svg-images/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “WP SVG Images” is open source software.
