How to convert SVG files to other image formats

Question

Hi,

This might not seem to be strictly programming related question, but i am looking for this for sometime now without any success hence asked here.

Is there any image processing tool to convert *.svg files(Scalable vector graphics) files to any other common/widely used image format such as jpeg/gif/bmp etc..

I have a svg file which i need to edit. without knowing or editing the XML like markup commands which were used to make this svg in firs place.

Thank you.

-AD.

Answer 1

ImageMagick works everywhere and with (practically) every format.

Answer 2

Apache Batik is one Java library for this task, particularly the transcoder API.

If you prefer a tool to a library, Inkscape has a batch export feature.

Answer 3

Have you tried Inkscape?

Answer 4

When it comes to image conversion there's definitely one absolute answer: ImageMagick. Take a look at their docs.

Answer 5

Inkscape is cool for this, Batik, too, but ImageMagick won't work on Windows, if you don't do some magic (haha) and tell it where GhostScript lives.

Alternatives are Adobe Illustrator (they still have almost complete SVG support) or GIMP (yes, it can import SVGs), the latter, if you want raster graphics.

Cheers,
