Convert to other image formats

[elalemanyo]

Hi,
It may not have much to do with the gem, but some good idea to be able to have other formats besides svg, such as jpg or png.
BTW: Thank you very much for the gem

Victor is exclusively an SVG generator.
You can convert SVG to any other format using other tools, such as ImageMagick or my favorite - rsvg-convert.

$ rsvg-convert in.svg > out.png
# or with specific output width of 1000 pixels
$ rsvg-convert -w 1000 in.svg > out.png

@DannyBen Thanks for your help. I end up using ImageProcessing::MiniMagick. I add a method to my svg service:

  def to_png
    tmp_file_name = SecureRandom.hex(4)
    tmp_svg_path = Rails.root.join("tmp", "#{tmp_file_name}.svg")
    tmp_png_path = Rails.root.join("tmp", "#{tmp_file_name}.png")
    save(tmp_svg_path.to_s)
    ImageProcessing::MiniMagick
      .source(tmp_svg_path.to_s)
      .custom { |magick| magick.alpha("remove") }
      .convert("png")
      .call(destination: tmp_png_path.to_s)
    File.read(tmp_png_path)
  ensure
    File.delete(tmp_svg_path) if tmp_svg_path && File.exist?(tmp_svg_path)
    File.delete(tmp_png_path) if tmp_png_path && File.exist?(tmp_png_path)
  end

Yup. That is also an option. Keep in mind that ImageMagick for me sometimes converted even simple SVGs incorrectly.
