neo Universe - Florian Krines - Knusper Photography

I had access to all neoPlugins in the beta test, together in neo Universe. I have already written my (consistently positive) experiences with the individual plugins in the respective plugin reviews. The concept of packing all neoPlugins into a single plugin is pretty clever. In one ecosystem neo Universe unites everything needed around media management and optimization in WordPress. Because all plugins come from the same development team, smooth cooperation of all plugins is ensured.

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 uniform drawing look with the matching font. The whole design looks very consistent 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!

I had the opportunity to test neo Draw more closely during the development phase. The plugin is super-fast and perfectly integrated into WordPress. Editing the drawings is possible directly in the page builder. The raw data is stored in the image file and can be easily transferred to another domain by downloading the file. Surprisingly, the drawings are still displayed even when the plugin is deactivated. Very nice! Everything is of very high quality and reliable. The developer also responds to technical questions immediately. I am very satisfied.

A software developer from neo WP gave me early access to neo Draw. I actually just wanted to create a few drawings until I realized what neo Draw can do. You can draw absolutely anything: logos, icons, tables, decorations, ... You can even draw and paint over existing images. With the link feature 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.

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 recognizes every image reference hidden somewhere in the database. Whether in the post content, an ACF field, or your own JS code. I find it particularly practical that the plugin shows me where the image is used before renaming it. That gives me extra confidence.

I was able to use neo Rename in beta. It's 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.

The neoPro plugin is my multitool for media in WordPress! Whether renaming, replacing, duplicating or optimizing images - it's all included. You can even draw and animate. And all of that with a single plugin. No more plugin chaos, no compatibility problems. The features are perfectly coordinated. I especially like that I can enable exactly the features I need in the neo Manager.

There are only a few truly outstanding WordPress plugins and neoPro is definitely one of them. The modern design looks professional and is thought through down to the last detail. The plugin integrates seamlessly into WordPress. In the media library images can be renamed or replaced with just one click. Drawings can even be edited directly in the page builder. Amazing how elegant media management in WordPress can be.

The support is better than anything I've experienced so far. I had a technical question about plugin integration. No ten minutes later the answer came directly from the developer team. Not only fast, but also precise. You can tell immediately that these aren't bots answering, but real professionals with passion. The communication was friendly and professional. Thank you very much for the great help! ♥

The neoPro package not only speeds up my website but also my entire workflow. For example, images can easily be dragged and dropped directly into the media library and are uploaded in parallel at full bandwidth. When renaming, the renamer immediately finds all references to the image and adjusts them automatically. The backend remains fast and the frontend is massively accelerated by neo Optimize, especially for large images.
