Features
WP SVG comes with the features that help you make your WordPress site beautiful. No more messing around, just install the plugin and start uploading.
Sanitised SVGs
Don't open up security holes in your WordPress site by allowing uploads of unsanitised files.
SVGO Optimisation
You'll have the option to run your SVGs through our SVGO server on upload to save you space.
Add Inline SVGs
You have the ability to insert SVG files inline into your page to allow you to style them using CSS or hook into them with JavaScript.
Fix Missing MIME Types
If you've previously uploaded an SVG, it may be missing its MIME type. This means no matter what you do, the SVG won't display correctly in WordPress. WP SVG Can automatically fix this for you.
Gutenberg Block
Add inline SVGs from within the Gutenberg editor without having to mess around with shortcodes. The Inline SVG block gives you an easy way to add inline SVGs to your Gutenberg powered site.
View SVGs in the Media Library
Gone are the days of guessing which SVG is the correct one, we'll enable SVG previews in the WordPress media library.
Choose Who Can Upload
Restrict SVG uploads to certain users on your WordPress site or allow them to all.
Scan Previously Uploaded Files
Scan SVG files that were uploaded prior to the plugin being added. This means you can still get the full benefit of WP SVG across the board, even if you were late to the party!
View a Sanitisation Log
Wondering why an SVG didn't upload? Maybe something's not looking quite right after sanitisation. You can now see a log of the last 10 uploaded files to help debug and fix any issues you may have.
What People Say
A couple of testimonials from people using WP SVG in the wild!
At Information is Beautiful we use WP-SVG to ensure our readers get great-looking content across all devices. From a technical point of view the plugin does exactly what it says on the tin, making safe, sanitized svg uploads a total breeze. In addition, the support we’ve received has been second to none and on the rare occasions where we’ve had to get in touch Daryll has gone above and beyond to make sure any issues have been solved almost immediately. Highly recommended!

Why Choose WP SVG?
Why should you choose WP SVG over any of the free plugins out there and isn't it just a line of code to allow SVG uploads?
SVGs are inherently insecure, this is because contrary to what a lot of people believe, SVG is not an image format. SVG is actually document format, more specifically a standalone XML application. For example, SVG files allows JavaScript to be embedded and SVG readers, i.e. your browser, are expected to execute it.
Because SVG is also an XML based format, when you allow SVG uploads you also open up your server to XML based attacks. These attacks affect not only your website but also the server it resides on.
Security researcher Mario Heiderich wrote a talk on SVG security that shows how JavaScript embedded within an SVG managed to call him on Skype.
Now you know a little about SVG security, why should you use WP SVG over the other options out there?
WP SVG has a sanitisation library built in to it. This library is built and maintained by myself separately to the WP SVG plugin, meaning that we can get more eyes on the sanitiser to potentially help fix any bugs that are found. If sanitisation wasn't enough, WP SVG also gives you the option to restrict the ability to upload SVGs to WordPress to certain users.
I also have a free version available in the WordPress Plugin directory. This free plugin utilises the same sanitisation library as WP SVG so please at least use that!
