== Frequently Asked Questions ==
### Features of neo Motion ###
**Which features are included in the plugin?**

The main features of the Stop Motion plugin are:

- ✅ Delight your visitors with stop motion animations
- ✅ Effortlessly create stop motion drawings with neoDraw
- ✅ Unlimited frames in any size
- ✅ Export animated SVGs (more efficient than GIFs)

### neoDraw - Transfer drawings ###
**How can I transfer drawings created with neoDraw to another website?**

Drawings created with [neoDraw](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-draw/) can be downloaded like normal images as **SVG or PNG files** and uploaded to another WordPress instance. For SVG upload to work, it must either be enabled manually or the [neoLibrary](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-library/) must be used for the upload. The drawings can **still be edited with neoDraw after the upload** because the drawing data is embedded in both the SVG and PNG formats.

### neoDraw - Export drawing ###
**Can I export neoDraw drawings as PNG files?**

**Yes**, drawings created with [neoDraw](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-draw/) can be downloaded as **PNG files** via the [neoLibrary](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-library/). All drawing data is embedded as metadata directly into the PNG file. Despite the pixel-based format, the **complete restoration of the original SVG remains possible** - including all editable drawing elements. If such a PNG file is later uploaded again via neoLibrary, it will automatically be converted back into an SVG file editable with neoDraw.

### neoDraw - File format ###
**In which format are neoDraw drawings stored?**

Drawings created with [neoDraw](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-draw/) are stored in the WordPress media library as [vector graphics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_graphics) in the [SVG format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SVG) - just like normal images. In the file system these SVG files reside alongside the other images of the WordPress media library. Therefore all drawings created with neoDraw can still be used after uninstalling the plugin.

All editor drawing data, including embedded images and animations from [neoAnimate](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-animate/) & [neoMotion](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-motion/), are stored directly in the SVG file. This keeps the drawing fully editable even after downloading and re-uploading - for example to another WordPress instance. In the frontend the SVG files are treated like ordinary images.

For maximum performance the plugin [neoOptimize](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-optimize/) automatically removes the editor data when serving the SVG files and converts embedded raster images to the efficient [WebP format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebP).

### neoDraw - Drawings without Pro ###
**What happens to my drawings and animations without Pro?**

If you no longer use a Pro license, your existing **drawings and animations remain fully intact** and continue to work in the frontend.

The Pro features within the drawings (e.g. advanced animation settings) can no longer be edited without a license. Displaying and exporting is still possible because your drawings are stored as regular SVG files.

If you later switch back to neoPro, all Pro features become immediately available again without restrictions.

### Neo universe ###
**What is the neoUniverse?**

The **neoUniverse** is more than just a plugin collection. It is your complete **toolbox for all media challenges** in WordPress. It currently includes ten specialized plugins: [**neoLibrary**](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-library/), [**neoRename**](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-rename/), [**neoReplace**](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-replace/), [**neoDuplicate**](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-duplicate/), [**neoOptimize**](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-optimize/), [**neoLazy**](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-lazy/), [**neoDraw**](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-draw/), [**neoAnimate**](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-animate/) and [**neoMotion**](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-motion/). They integrate seamlessly, are perfectly coordinated and cover all areas around media management, SEO and performance. Whether renaming images, replacing files, optimizing SEO, enabling lazy load or drawing and animating content. The neoUniverse makes your media workflow noticeably easier and more efficient. And the best part: the neoUniverse keeps growing. New tools and features make your WordPress day-to-day even better.

### Download with Safari ###
**Why do I only see a folder when downloading?**

**If you use Safari**, your Mac may automatically unzip the ZIP file. Instead of the ZIP file you then only get the unzipped folder. You cannot upload this folder directly to WordPress.

Solution: Open **Safari settings** and disable the option **”Open safe files after downloading”**. Afterwards the ZIP file will remain as you need it.

The video titled ”How to disable Safari auto extract for ZIP files when downloading WordPress plugins” on YouTube shows exact details.
