inkscape

An SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) editing program. For Inkscape versions up to 0.92.x, use -e instead of -o. More information: https://inkscape.org.

  • Open an SVG file in the Inkscape GUI:

inkscape {{path/to/filename.svg}}

  • Export an SVG file into a bitmap with the default format (PNG) and the default resolution (96 DPI):

inkscape {{path/to/filename.svg}} -o {{path/to/filename.png}}

  • Export an SVG file into a bitmap of 600x400 pixels (aspect ratio distortion may occur):

inkscape {{path/to/filename.svg}} -o {{path/to/filename.png}} -w {{600}} -h {{400}}

  • Export the drawing (bounding box of all objects) of an SVG file into a bitmap:

inkscape {{path/to/filename.svg}} -o {{path/to/filename.png}} -D

  • Export a single object, given its ID, into a bitmap:

inkscape {{path/to/filename.svg}} -i {{id}} -o {{object.png}}

  • Export an SVG document to PDF, converting all texts to paths:

inkscape {{path/to/filename.svg}} -o {{path/to/filename.pdf}} --export-text-to-path

  • Duplicate the object with id="path123", rotate the duplicate 90 degrees, save the file, and quit Inkscape:

inkscape {{path/to/filename.svg}} --select=path123 --verb="{{EditDuplicate;ObjectRotate90;FileSave;FileQuit}}"
