| Editions | Safe SVG | Verve SSL |
| Pros | Sanitises SVG uploads before they are stored; Shows SVG previews in the media library; Choose which user roles can upload SVG files | Forces HTTPS for login and admin with no configuration; Rewrites insecure links for logged-in users; Single file with no settings or database tables |
| Cons | 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 | Last tested with WordPress 5.2.2 and not updated since 2019; Requires a working SSL certificate on the site; Sends a Location header on anonymous page loads (nohttps) |
