How does neoOptimize optimize drawings from neoDraw? When a graphic was created with neoDraw, neoOptimize can automatically optimize it when serving it on the frontend. Unnecessary editor data is removed for display and embedded raster images are converted to the efficient AVIF format. The original neoDraw file remains fully intact and editable. Visitors receive a leaner, faster version on the frontend while you can still work with the editable original drawing in the backend.

How can I transfer drawings created with neoDraw to another website? Drawings created with neoDraw can be downloaded like regular images as SVG or PNG files and uploaded to another WordPress instance. For SVG upload to work, it must either be enabled manually or the neoLibrary must be used for the upload. The drawings can still be edited with neoDraw after the upload because the drawing data is embedded in both the SVG and PNG formats.

Can I export neoDraw drawings as a PNG file? Yes, drawings created with neoDraw can be downloaded as PNG files via the neoLibrary. All drawing data is embedded as metadata directly into the PNG file. Even with the raster format, the full restoration of the original SVG is possible - including all editable drawing elements. If such a PNG file is later reuploaded with neoLibrary, it is automatically converted back into an SVG file that can be edited with neoDraw.

In which format are neoDraw drawings stored? Drawings created with neoDraw are stored in the WordPress media library as vector graphics in SVG format - just like regular images. On the file system these SVG files sit alongside the other images in the WordPress media library. Therefore all drawings created with neoDraw can still be used even after uninstalling the plugin. All editor drawing data, including embedded images and animations from neoAnimate & neoMotion, is stored directly in the SVG file. This ensures the drawing remains fully editable even after downloading and reuploading - for example on another WordPress instance. On the frontend the SVG files are treated like ordinary images. For maximum performance the neoOptimize plugin automatically removes the editor data when serving the SVG files and converts embedded raster images to the efficient WebP format.

What happens to my drawings and animations without Pro? If you no longer use a Pro license, your existing drawings and animations remain fully intact and continue to work on the frontend. The Pro features inside the drawings (e.g. advanced animation settings) cannot be edited without a license. Displaying and exporting is still possible because your drawings are stored as regular SVG files. If you switch back to neoPro later, all Pro features become available again without restrictions.

How does neoDraw work with the other plugins? The neoDraw plugin unfolds its full power in combination with the other plugins of the neoUniverse - especially in practical use cases. For example: You run a web design agency and want to integrate a visual route description on a client’s website. With neoDraw you create a sketch showing the route to the location directly on a map excerpt. Then you use neoAnimate to display the route as an animated path so visitors immediately see how to get there. To ensure the graphic is optimally indexed by search engines you name it SEO-friendly with neoRename and add the location to the filename. The neoOptimize plugin automatically handles compression and adapts the image size to different devices. At the same time neoLazy ensures the image only loads when it is actually needed - saving load time and improving the user experience. If the client’s location changes you can quickly and losslessly replace the graphic with neoReplace - all links remain intact. With neoLibrary you always keep an overview of your media files and see exactly which images are used in which posts - ideal for cleaning up and organizing.

What is the neoUniverse? The neoUniverse is more than just a plugin collection. It is your complete toolbox for all media challenges in WordPress. It currently includes ten specialized plugins: neoLibrary, neoRename, neoReplace, neoDuplicate, neoOptimize, neoLazy, neoDraw, neoAnimate and neoMotion. They work seamlessly together, are perfectly coordinated and cover all areas around media management, SEO and performance. Whether renaming images, replacing files, optimizing for SEO, enabling lazy load or drawing and animating content. The neoUniverse makes your media workflow noticeably simpler and more efficient. And the best part: The neoUniverse keeps expanding. New tools and features make your WordPress daily routine even better.

Why does only a folder appear when downloading? If you use Safari, your Mac may automatically unzip the ZIP file. Instead of the ZIP file you then only get the unzipped folder. You cannot upload this directly to WordPress. Solution: Open Safari preferences and disable the option ”Open safe files after downloading”. After that the ZIP file will remain as you need it. The video titled ”How to disable Safari auto extract for ZIP files when downloading WordPress plugins” on YouTube shows exact details.
