SeNioR- Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 We already know that in 4.6 we will be able to use the WebP format. We need webp NOW (.webp) images support But will SVG support also be added? Why? Because SVG format is intended for logos and icons. Assets load in lightning speed, much faster than in PNG. Please consider the suggestion 🙂 olavrb, Unienc, Jonas Erlandsson and 8 others 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Miller Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Thanks for the suggestion! Anything that improves speed is eye-catching. Curious what the rest of the community thinks about this 🙂 Grafidea, Myr and Unienc 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linux-Is-Best Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Was there a technical reason why this has not been standardized? I am curious as to why SVG support has not already been added. SVG has been around for 20 years (technically, 19 years, 20 this September). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics It became a browser standard 10 years ago (since 2011) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics#Native_browser_support I am surprised to learn even discontinued Internet Explorer 9 - 11 all supported SVG. Or was this an oversight? 🤔    Edited April 6, 2021 by Linux-Is-Best Myr and SeNioR- 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey_M Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 From what I've read it makes a lot of sense, the positives could see a large improvement for those that utilizes it - especially if .webp is used in conjunction. Most people don't have overcomplicated graphics or logos. OptimusBain, Myr, SeNioR- and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interferon Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 It's a good idea to use images that are double the resolution you need at 100% DPI scaling, especially for logos. Linux-Is-Best and SeNioR- 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will think about it, I bundle all features that I would use on my own site in one app, I put them on marketplace not for money, just to share, tho it won't be free Edited April 7, 2021 by Eudemon Grafidea and Jordan Miller 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Man Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 SVGs are definitely great for logos and non-complex images, they scale nicely being vector images although they can add a lot of bloat to a page but fortunately they're cachable. Something that came to mind, I'm not sure what if any protection is in place within IPS for non-IPS provided/third party uploaded SVGs. You need to be careful and make sure that they’re sanitized to stop SVG/XML vulnerabilities affecting your site. There's a good library available here that can help to avoid opening up security holes by allowing uploads of unsanitised files, it's used by some highly rated SVG Wordpress plugins: https://github.com/darylldoyle/svg-sanitizer Just something to be mindful of. 🙂 My Sharona, SeNioR-, Maxxius and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eudemon Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 SVG / WebP as one of the features, you can see it live at https://turboduck.net/ and inspect the logo  Jordan Miller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeNioR- Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Great, but I was expecting plugin only with SVG and WebP support without any unnecessary stuff. A plugin that will add the ability to upload icons and logos in new extensions. Your plugin only replaces the logo code.

Some of the icons, depending on the manifest specification from the provider, allow it but others do not so we only allow it where that is possible. There's a feature suggestion here that you're welcome to add on to with your comments:Â https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/461372-svg-for-logos-and-icons-and-webp-for-images/ Â Is .webp currently supported for logos? Unless I am mistaken, within the ACP, I only see an option within "Posting" to set images upload extensions but I see no other abilities to set extensions throughout the site. Am I missing where I can enable this? When I try to upload a .webp logo, I get the error: SeNioR- and Grafidea 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeNioR- Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 A year has passed... It seems to me that IPS thinks too much about the backend and forgot about the frontend. Grafidea and WP V0RT3X 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Time sure does fly when you're having fun! Let me add this to my list of things to bring forward to the team. Without a backend, there wouldn't be a frontend, but I do understand that this has been a common request so I'll see how, when and if this can be implemented. I'll come back to you with some info everyone. Grafidea, Myr, My Sharona and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
