Review:
neo Duplicate - Jonas Gruber - Bach & Gruber Holding Ltd.

As a professional photographer I use image editing plugins to match the look of my images to the style of the respective site. With neo Duplicate I create copies of my images to quickly try something out without overwriting the original. I also create duplicates when I want to use an image in different galleries or on multiple sites. I use similar file names with specific prefixes to keep track. The plugin is minimalist and adds a handy "Duplicate" button directly in the media library so copies can be created quickly and easily.

As a beta tester I was able to test neo Optimize extensively. What is very well solved about neo Optimize is that all images and the entire content folder remain untouched. The plugin creates thumbnails in a separate folder and leaves the database 100% unchanged. I have not seen such a solution in any other media optimize plugin so far.

In an early test version neo Optimize completely impressed me. Once activated, everything runs by itself - exactly how you want it. The images are automatically optimized and cached on the first page load, without you having to worry about anything. I particularly like the image quality setting with an immediate preview of the compressed image. It is simply an all-around successful plugin that works reliably and absolutely convinced me. The neoTeam did a great job.

I am a beta tester of neo Replace. As a photographer I use the plugin for my portfolio site. I often replace existing images with edited versions. Previously this was tedious because I had to replace the images on each page individually. The neo Replace plugin not only replaces the image files for me, it also shows where I used the images on the website. It is practical that metadata like alt texts are always preserved. A solid plugin that works smoothly.

Like with renaming plugins, I'm cautious with replace plugins too. That's why I thoroughly checked neo Replace on a test instance first. Just like neo Rename, neo Replace also handles its tasks in the database cleanly and reliably. This plugin also shows me where the image is used before replacing it. Simply brilliant.

With early access to neo Replace I can write a few words. The slogan Drag-Drop-Swap says it all. Just drag a new image onto the old one and you are done. The new image is uploaded automatically, thumbnails are created and the image is replaced in all posts and pages. As with other neo plugins the handling is cleverly solved here too. Well done!

I discovered neo Draw when I was looking for Paint for WordPress and found exactly that. A very intuitive and powerful drawing tool. Unlike Paint, neo Draw has well chosen color palettes. ;) I especially like the consistent drawing look with the matching font. The whole design looks very cohesive and well thought out. The integrated icon library includes emojis, a wide selection of icons and even animated GIFs. You can also add your own images, GIFs and icons to the drawings. Thanks for the valuable tool!

During the development phase I already had the opportunity to test neo Draw more closely. The plugin is super fast and perfectly integrated into WordPress. Editing the drawings is possible directly in the page builder. The raw data is embedded in the image file and can be easily transferred to another domain by downloading the file. It is amazing that the drawings are still displayed even if the plugin is deactivated. Very nice! All very high quality and reliable. The developer also responds to technical questions immediately. I am very satisfied.

Through a software developer from neo WP I got early access to neo Draw. I actually only wanted to create a few drawings until I realized what is possible with neo Draw. You can draw anything easily: logos, icons, tables, decorations, ... It is also possible to draw and paint over existing images. With the link function I even drew my own buttons and linked them. Particularly brilliant is that everything can be animated with just one click, which looks very impressive.

In the beta test I already had the opportunity to create some animations. It is child’s play. There are many ways to control and modify the animations, especially the playback in the frontend. I especially liked the integration of scroll and hover animations that give my website that extra something. For example I created a graphic that builds up piece by piece when you scroll to that spot. That gives my website additional expressiveness.
