| Editions | Database Manager - WP Adminer | Safe SVG |
| Pros | Full Adminer database tool inside the dashboard; Access limited by WordPress capability; Link in the admin bar and the plugins screen | Sanitises SVG uploads before they are stored; Shows SVG previews in the media library; Choose which user roles can upload SVG files |
| Cons | Direct database access, so a risk if an admin account is weak; Installs a must-use plugin to load early; Writes an adminer.key file to the temp directory | 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 |
