FAQ
-
Do you save the images to my file system?
-
Yes, when you press to import an image filter, the new image will be added to the WP media library.
-
What happens if I disable your block?
-
You will still have the edited image, which you can use however you like.

-
While it’s not required (but recommended), you can speed up the filter processing by making sure your server understands application/wasm files and serves them with the proper mime type. In Nginx, for example, you would add a directive like:
types {
application/wasm wasm;
}
