svgexport

svgexport is a Node.js module and command-line tool for exporting SVG files to PNG and JPEG, it uses Puppeteer for rendering SVG files.

Command Line

Installation

npm install svgexport -g

Installation Issues

You might encounter an error while installing because of a puppeteer issue documented here puppeteer/puppeteer#367

To circumvent this, you will need the following command

sudo npm install -g svgexport --unsafe-perm=true

Usage

svgexport <input file> <output file> <options>
svgexport <datafile>

<options>        [<format>] [<quality>] [<input viewbox>] [<output size>] [<resize mode>] [<styles>]

<format>         png|jpeg|jpg
                 If not specified, it will be inferred from output file extension or defaults to "png".

<quality>        1%-100%

<input viewbox>  <left>:<top>:<width>:<height>|<width>:<height>
                 If input viewbox is not specified it will be inferred from input file.

<output size>    <scale>x|<width>:<height>|<width>:|:<height>
                 If output size is specified as width:height, <viewbox mode> is used.

<viewbox mode>   crop|pad
                 Crop (slice) or pad (extend) input to match output aspect ratio, default mode is "crop".

<datafile>       Path of a JSON file with following content:
                 [ {
                   "input" : ["<input file>", "<option>", "<option>", ...],
                   "output": [ ["<output file>", "<option>", "<option>", ...] ]
                 }, ...]
                 Input file options are merged with and overridden by output file options.
                 Instead of a JSON file, a Node module which exports same content can be provided.

Examples

Scale 1.5x proportionally:

svgexport input.svg output.png 1.5x

Scale proportionally to set output width to 32px:

svgexport input.svg output.png 32:

Scale proportionally and pad output to set output width:height to 32px:54px:

svgexport input.svg output.png pad 32:54

Export -1:-1:24:24 (left:top:width:height) of input.svg to output.png:

svgexport input.svg output.png -1:-1:24:24 1x

Set output JPEG quality:

svgexport input.svg output.jpg 80%

Use a CSS to style input SVG:

svgexport input.svg output.jpg "svg{background:silver;}"

By default, Puppeteer has a page load timeout of 30 seconds. This might not be enough for large SVG files. If you want to change the page timeout, set the SVGEXPORT_TIMEOUT environment variable to the desired number of seconds.

// One minute timeout
SVGEXPORT_TIMEOUT=60 svgexport input.svg output.png

Node.js Module

Installation

npm install svgexport --save

Usage

var svgexport = require('svgexport');

svgexport.render(datafile, callback);

datafile can be an object, an array of objects or a JSON file path, see command line usage for its format.
