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 in the block editor and preview them in real time. Choose from 271 current country, territory, regional, and organisation flags using a searchable selector, then control size, aspect ratio, captions, and layout without leaving the editor. The plugin includes three dynamic blocks: * **SVG Flag** for a lightweight CSS-rendered flag. * **SVG Flag Image** for an accessible image with country-name alternative text. * **SVG Flag Grid** for responsive multi-country galleries with up to eight columns, adjustable spacing, captions, and square or 4:3 flags. Shortcodes are available for classic-editor and template use. Add one flag with `[ svg-flag flag="gb"]`, an accessible image with `[svg-flag-image flag="fr"]`, or a gallery with `[svg-flag-grid flags="gb,us,ca,fr" columns="4" caption="true"]`. #### Need more presentation control? SVG Flags Pro adds linked flag cards, responsive linked grids, a searchable flag directory, flag headings, custom captions and tooltips, and deeper presentation controls. [Explore SVG Flags Pro](https://wpgoplugins.com/plugins/svg-flags/) for the complete feature comparison and current pricing. We hope you find this plugin useful.

Visit the [plugin documentation page](https://wpgoplugins.com/document/svg-flags-documentation/) to see available SVG flags blocks, shortcodes and attributes, plus related options. ### Where can I see SVG Flags in action? Visit the [SVG Flags product page](https://wpgoplugins.com/plugins/svg-flags/) for current examples, feature details, and links to the full documentation. ### 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 Alpha-2 codes for countries and territories, plus the additional regional and organisation codes included by the bundled flag-icons library. You can look up standard country codes [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/) Ebrel 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/) Mis-Genver 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/) Gortheren 30, 2022 1 reply Super-confusing and slows the website down.
