neo WP - Sasha Simonova - Avonomis

The neoPro plugin is my multitool for media in WordPress! Whether renaming, replacing, duplicating or optimizing images - it’s all included. Even drawing and animating is possible. And all of that with a single plugin. No more plugin chaos, no compatibility issues. 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 a single click. Drawings can even be edited directly in the PageBuilder. Amazing how elegant media management in WordPress can be.

The neoPro package not only speeds up my website, but also my entire workflow. For example, images can 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.

Hi, psst... I sneaked in here to tell you a little secret: Of course we use our own baby neo WP for the graphics on this website. We’re excited about it ourselves and developed it with lots of love so it works perfectly not just for us but for you too. So sit back and enjoy the full power of our plugin. Have fun with it - we’re sure you’ll love it as much as we do!

Small confession: I'm one of the minds behind neo WP – the plugin universe around media management in WordPress. And yes, I use it myself. Every. Single. Day. Whether renaming, replacing, duplicating, optimizing, lazy-loading, animating, drawing images or even stop-motion with SVGs – the whole package (neoUniverse) is not only modular, but also works together as seamlessly as I've always wanted. We put a lot of love and a bit (okay, quite a lot) of nerdy attention to detail into it. So if you like a lean, well-thought-out media setup that doesn't overwhelm you with 100 menu items but simply works – take a look. Or the whole universe. I trust it with my own projects – and maybe soon you'll trust it with yours.

Straight away: I'm looking forward to the release of neo Library. Everything that bothered me about the WordPress media library is simply better with neo Library. One example is the ability to infinite-scroll instead of constantly switching between pages. When you reach the bottom, the library has already loaded more images. That saves me a lot of time and nerves. Another point is the fast preview that shows not only images but also videos and PDFs. With one click you can rename, duplicate, view enlarged, and even edit images. I'm sure my wish to be able to find duplicate images will be implemented soon. 😉 Dear neoTeam, I'm thrilled! Keep it up!

Even before release I was able to thoroughly test neo Library. Finally a truly fast media library 💪 As a professional photographer I work daily with large amounts of high-resolution images. Even with thousands of images the library loads lightning-fast. I'm especially impressed by this speed. Another feature I particularly appreciate is showing where an image is used across the website. That helps me enormously with organizing my portfolios and prevents accidentally deleting important images. Also, displaying the file size delivered by neo Optimize directly in the overview is brilliant. neo Library is a great tool for anyone who wants to organize their media more efficiently.

As a beta tester I had the chance to test neo Library extensively. I tried many plugins. It's the first library plugin that shows me where I used each image on my site. Even if it's embedded in an ACF field. Beside every image there's a list of posts I can jump to with one click to quickly find my images. This feature alone makes the plugin worthwhile.

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