== Description ==

The **Picture Tag** plugin allows you to easily integrate responsive `<picture>` tags into your WordPress site. This plugin adds support for generating modern image formats like **WebP** and **AVIF**, improving performance and SEO.

Features:
- A function for displaying images using the picture tag. 
- Support for WebP and AVIF formats.
- Flexible settings for custom paths and image attributes.
