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

As a beta tester I was allowed to thoroughly test neo Optimize. What is very well solved in 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 haven't 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 as you want. Images are automatically optimized and cached on first page load without you having to worry about anything. I especially like the image quality setting with an immediate preview of the compressed image. It's simply a thoroughly successful plugin that works reliably and convinced me completely. 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 that 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, but also shows where I used the images on the website. Practical is that metadata like alt texts are always preserved. A solid plugin that works smoothly.

As with renaming plugins, I am 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 performs its tasks in the database cleanly and reliably. This plugin also shows me before replacing where the image is used everywhere. Simply brilliant.

With early access to neo Replace I can write a few words about it. The slogan Drag-Drop-Swap hits the mark. Just drag a new image onto the old one and 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'm generally cautious with renaming plugins because they've often broken references and PHP arrays in my database. That's why I put neo Rename through its paces on a test instance. What can I say? I couldn't break neo Rename. The plugin simply detects every image reference hiding somewhere in the database. Whether in post content, an ACF field, or your own JS code. I especially like that the plugin shows me where the image is used before renaming. That gives me extra confidence.

I was able to use neo Rename in beta. It is simply reliable. As a professional photographer I use many images and update them regularly on my website. With neo Rename I keep titles and alt tags consistent. This plugin saves me a lot of time.

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 built-in 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 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 PageBuilder. The raw data is embedded in the image file and can be transferred to another domain simply by downloading the file. It's amazing that the drawings are still displayed even if the plugin is deactivated. Very nice! Everything is very high quality and reliable. The developer also responds to technical questions immediately. I'm very satisfied.

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