By [David Gwyer](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dgwyer/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/svg-flags-lite.0.9.6.zip) * [Details](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/svg-flags-lite/#description) * [Reviews](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/svg-flags-lite/#reviews) * [Installation](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/svg-flags-lite/#installation) * [Development](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/svg-flags-lite/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/svg-flags-lite/) ## Description SVG Flags of the world allows you to add high quality beautiful flags to your WordPress site in seconds. Display one or more flags at any scale without loss of quality and with a fixed aspect ratio so they always look great! Supported aspect ratios are 4:3 (default) and 1:1 (square). Create SVG flags visually, directly inside the Gutenberg block editor and preview them in realtime without having to leave the editor window. No more having to remember shortcode names and long lists of shortcode attributes. The plugin also includes shortcodes if you prefer to use these instead. If your site is using the classic WordPress editor then you have no choice but to use shortcodes. To add SVG flags to your content it’s as simple as inserting the `[svg-flags]` shortcode into a post or page. See the main plugin settings page for full information on all the attributes available. We hope you find this plugin useful. If you have a moment please consider [**rating**](https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/svg-flags-lite) it to show your support.

Visit the [plugin documentation page](https://wpgoplugins.com/document/svg-flags-documentation/) to see available SVG flags blocks, shortcodes and attributes, plus related options. ### Is there a live demo available for the plugin? Yes! You can see live examples of SVG flags available [here](https://demo.wpgothemes.com/flexr/svg-flags-demo/). ### Is there a way to remember all shortcode attributes? If you use the SVG flag editor blocks then you won’t need to remember any shortcodes at all as you can add flags to your page content 100% visually. No need to remember which shortcodes are available. You will also be able to see a live preview of the flag in the editor when using a block, which you can’t do with shortcodes. ### Where can I get the country code for each flag? The plugin uses the Alpha-2 code system to identify individual countries. You can look up the the code for any specific country [here](https://www.iban.com/country-codes). ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ec8b8422bb465ae8bc396e91e6078b8974b35a964447f8c8ecc86edf1ac2b281? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Thank you for your work!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thank-you-for-your-work-20/)󠁿 [RealMag777](https://profiles.wordpress.org/realmag777/) April 22, 2025 Thank you for your work! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/07833ac06bd2f8083171b5291eab3165736cb18ae275f159c7269ba5221f88a7? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[cool](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cool-1236/)󠁿 [podroznik](https://profiles.wordpress.org/podroznik/) January 11, 2023 nice plugins works well in what it was intended to do ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2ba5e4a3c4bba0360921f4a06f0d687900df99e4420e2e8ed8bd533cbe06027a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Super-confusing and slows the website down](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/super-confusing-and-slows-the-website-down/)󠁿 [sickleadz](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sickleadz/) July 30, 2022 1 reply Super-confusing and slows the website down.
