| Editions | HTTP Headers | Safe SVG |
| Pros | Sets many security and CORS headers from one settings screen; Can write headers to .htaccess or .user.ini where the server allows it | Sanitises SVG uploads before they are stored; Shows SVG previews in the media library; Choose which user roles can upload SVG files |
| Cons | Needs a server that reads .htaccess or .user.ini for file-based rules; Wrong Content-Security-Policy values can break page scripts and styles | SVG optimiser is off by default and needs a code filter; Settings are limited to the upload role choice; Sanitising rules decide what markup survives, so check designs after upload |
