Convert SVG to PNG or JPEG
There are cases when you need to supply a raster image. Eg. a system that does not (yet ?) support SVG. How can we convert an SVG image to a raster image?
There are number of tools to do this.
Convert SVG to PNG or JPEG using ImageMagick
To install on Ubuntu:
sudo apt install imagemagick
On the command line run:
convert input.svg output.png
Convert SVG to PNG or JPEG using Inkscape
To install on Ubuntu:
sudo apt install inkscape
On the command line run:
inkscape --export-filename=output.png input.svg
Using The Gnome Image Viewer
It is also called the Eye of Gnome or eog
.
We can open the image with the viewer by double-clicking on the SVG file in the file-explorer or by running:
eog input.svg
To convert click on the hamburger menu, select "Save As" and save as a .png
file.
