Features of neo Animate

Which features are included in the plugin?

The key features of the SVG Animation Plugin are:

• ✅ Simple path animation for SVG drawings
• ✅ Triggers for scroll and hover animations
• ✅ Live preview of stroke-line effects
• ✅ Simple and powerful animation frame editor

neoDraw – Transfer drawings

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 use the neoLibrary 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.

neoDraw – Export drawing

Can I export neoDraw drawings as PNG files?

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. Despite the pixel-based format, this allows full restoration of the original SVG including all editable drawing elements. If such a PNG file is later uploaded again with neoLibrary, it will automatically be converted back into an SVG file editable with neoDraw.

neoDraw – File format

In what format are neoDraw drawings saved?

Drawings created with neoDraw are stored in the WordPress media library as vector graphics in SVG format – just like regular images. In the file system these SVG files sit alongside the other images from the WordPress media library. Thus all drawings created with neoDraw can still be used after uninstalling.

All editor drawing data, including embedded images and animations from neoAnimate & neoMotion , are stored directly in the SVG file. This keeps the drawing fully editable even after downloading and re-uploading – for example to another WordPress instance. In the frontend the SVG files are treated like ordinary images.

For maximum performance the neoOptimize plugin removes the editor data automatically when serving the SVG files and converts embedded raster images to the efficient WebP format .

neoDraw – Drawings without Pro

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 in the frontend.

The Pro features within the drawings (for example advanced animation settings) can no longer be edited without a license. Displaying and exporting is still possible because your drawings are stored as regular SVG files.

If you later switch back to neoPro, all Pro features become available again without restrictions.

Neo-Universe

What is the neoUniverse?

The neoUniverse is more than just a plugin collection. It is your complete toolkit 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 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 everyday work even better.

Download with Safari

Why is only a folder shown 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” . The ZIP file will then 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.
