Need to batch convert svg to png? I have a few thousand .svg files that I need to convert to raster, namely .png. I ended up using ImageMagick<\/a>. Apparently it is the standard tool to use. However, Inkscape<\/a> and Apache Batik<\/a> are also capable of converting svg to a raster format.
\nImageMagick has a convert tool and a mogrify tool which can convert svg to png.
\nWhat I want to do is covert my few thousand .svg files to .png files using the same file name as the .svg files, only with the .png extension.
\nFor some reason, I couln’t do that with the convert command. All of the output files needed to have part of the file name given, so that numbers could be appended to it, or a full file name given, in which case only one output file was created.
\nI poked around a bit and discovered the mogrify command would use the input file names to create the output file names, only with the .png extension instead of the .svg extension. I also needed the .png files to be a certain size, which mogrify also allows.
\nHere is the command I used:<\/p>\n

mogrify -resize widthxheight -format png *.svg<\/p>\n

where width is the desired width of the .png, ex: 100, and height is the desired height of the .png, ex: 100.
\nWorked great and I now have my batch of .svg files converted to .png files in the size I need.<\/p>\n
