RSVG-Convert SVG image conversion tool

LibRSVG is probably one of well known svg library (other is Batik), the library use libcairo for pdf,ps and svg backend. This is a convenient static build of RSVG-Convert (part of librsvg 2.34.2) compiled with MinGW. I made this since originally the executable would dragged many dependencies.

The command line also used by ImageMagick through delegates although being deprecated (the rsvg wrapper), currently rsvg-convert.exe support png, ps, pdf and xml output but not jpg.

use "rsvg-convert --help" to see its command options, notice that the default output is stdout so be sure to specify file output.

Download:
rsvg-convert-2.40.20.7z  (30-12-2017) with fontconfig support ( use with environment variable PANGOCAIRO_BACKEND=fc )

note: embedded images now displayed (broken in previous builds), now support jpg, gif, png, svg, tiff, wmf, emf, ico,  images mime type aliases also added.

      the first error message are harmless it's not needed for windows, the warnings also generally can be ignored. But if you concerned (your text output not looking good). Try download this http://osspack32.googlecode.com/files/fontconfig.7z extract it to where you have rsvg and execute fc-cache (it will cache your whole windows's fonts), it may takes time to finished. Then try again rsvg

      note: I'm not sure whether my previous build has fontconfig support, so I updated it (version 2.36.1) as the same link in original post. try redownload

      Interesting, thanks. Only snag is, the window doesn't open to the size of the document, and twice within the last few minutes I've crashed the program simply enlarging the size of the window using the size grip. (Windows 8 Pro)

      Certainly easier than repeatedly saving to PNG though :)

    7. AnonymousJune 3, 2015 at 6:27 AM

      The crash in rsvg-view-3.exe is caused by the window being too narrow for the toolbar. (I've not triggered the crash in a long time, but I decided to see if I could work out what the cause is).

      If you resize the window smaller and smaller, it will crash at the instant that the window width is narrower than the total width of the toolbar buttons, i.e. when the Zoom Out button starts to disappear off the edge of the window.

      I think I was triggering it with very small SVG images at the time.

      (Note that I am now in Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit, not XP.)

      1. open the commandline "cmd"

      3. try something like this or what ever you wanted to do:

      rsvg-convert.exe -a -w 500 -f svg INPUT.SVG -o OUTPUT.SVG

    I've begun to use rsvg-convert for text-based SVG, and it's wonderful.

    However, my svg has an image embedded in it using the form of:


    image
    height = "100"
    width = "100"
    x = "455"
    xlink:href = "data:;base64,{imageDataInBase64}"
    y = "90"

    My image is not getting into the PDF. Is rsvg-convert unable to process images?

    Help!

  13. Krzysztof FFOctober 9, 2013 at 5:31 PM

    Hi,
    Your rasterizing utility is excellent.

    However, I have observed that applying various desired dpi densities in command-line parameters, like this:
    rsvg-convert.exe -d 300 -p 300
    rsvg-convert.exe -d 100 -p 100
    rsvg-convert.exe -d 600 -p 600
    or like this
    rsvg-convert.exe --dpi-x 600 --dpi-y 600
    or even without specifying density which should default to 90:
    rsvg-convert.exe

    HAS NO EFFECT.

    Moreover, the effect is (what I'm verifying by examining obtained raster image geometry comparing with SVG contents) as in all cases, density of 300 dpi has been used.

    Obtained PNG files with various settings are binary identical.

    After some experiments, I've observed that the only method to control effective resolution, is to pass width and height parameters recalculated accordingly. For example, to obtain 600 dpi, it is necessary to pass width and height multiplied twice.

    In my application, I have to keep control over raster image geometry so as to have its content in sync with vectors displayed above, so proper behavior in this matter is for me important.

    May be there is something wrong in the way I pass density parameters?

    Could you explain this behavior, please?

      Sorry my previous comment was incomplete. For the PDF conversion, I mean the opacity property in "g" and "text" elements are ignored. This isn't the problem when converting to PNG.

      For the bold and italic font, your conversion tool reports that it can't find "WenQuanYi Zen Hei bold" or "WenQuanYi Zen Hei italic", but this problem doesn't exist in Wikimedia which uses the same typeface.

    I've just sketched a quick icon for the program, but having tried to use Resource Editor to attach my icon, I get:

    Application Error
    Failed to load resource module:.

    I assume that this is caused by the program having zero resources, since I can open Pidgin's EXE just fine, and that's a GTK program.

    I assume that just giving the program a VERSIONINFO resource would be enough to let me insert an icon into it.

      Try XN Resource Editor. I've test it, should be OK
      Why it need to decompressed first, is because UPX STILL alter the PE header although by default preserve first icon and etc if a resource editor don't understand the compression method (in this case the newer brute LZMA) it will output invalid PE.

    When comparing output of rsvg-convert (using specified via cmd params width and height) with export from Inkscape, rsvg-convert produces image with 1-2 pixels less height/width (whatever is smaller), so that edge loos somewhat cut. Maybe it is kinda scaling/conversion problem, that can be fixed on rsvg-convert side?

    Hi,
    I have been using rsvg-convert for a while and it's very convenient. Thanks for this tool!

    I'm on Windows 10 64 bit, and I use rsvg-convert to generate a PDF.

    I have a SVG file where rsvg-convert partially fails.
    There are two base64 images in the SVG, and only is shown in the PDF. The PDF export from Inkscape looks ok. I also used this online tool to check the base64 images and they both look alright: https://codebeautify.org/base64-to-image-converter

    The PDF looks good when running rsvg-convert on Linux Mint 64 bit.

    Any idea about what could cause this issue?

      Hi Zakkum,
      Thanks for your quick reply.

      I tried both
      rsvg-convert-2.40.19_FC.7z (2-12-2017) with fontconfig support
      and
      rsvg-convert-2.40.19.7z (22-11-2017) no fontconfig support

      They act in different way other than FC support. rsvg-convert-2.40.19_FC runs well w/o warning but some texts are overlap each other, while rsvg-convert-2.40.19 issues font warnings, but converted PDF looks prefect.

      This is the command I used to convert SVG to PDF:
      rsvg-convert -a -u -d 300 -p 300 --keep-image-data -f pdf -o aa.svg.pdf aa.svg

      Any advise? Thanks.

      Did FC version use the correct font (benton) compared to non-FC? If so is it appears "bigger" (so that it become overlapped)? fontconfig allow you to control specific font appearance from "etc\fonts\fonts.conf" file see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/font_configuration for examples

      I cannot recognize the font, but it does not seems "bigger" than expected... they looks normal expect being overlapped..
      please see the screenshots:

      looks like hinting screw up benton but nonFC use the wrong font (you can see its "serif" looks)

      try add this to your etc\fonts\fonts.conf
      <match target="font">
      <edit name="hinting" mode="assign">
      <bool>false</bool>
      </edit>
      </match>

      I do not see any change (still overlapping, and some text are still out of the box) after applying the change to etc\fonts\conts.conf using the below version:

      Looks good to me, I put some overrides with sans-serif, maybe more default setting (but with antialias and hinting disabled) :

      https://pastebin.com/Sd57fArC

      If still no good then maybe that's how freetype render benton (Freetype itself is standard for linux), if the original document made by non-linux than sometime like this happen, and with static layout (like that non-flowed fixed box) it's hard to fix.

      it seems it's the TAB messing up. Instead of giving several space for the TAB, FC version reverse back 4-letter positions which cause overlapping.

      I do not figure out why some text are out of the textbox though.

      the overrides you gave in last paste does not fix the overlapping issue or being out of textbox issue. sorry

    17. AnonymousDecember 4, 2017 at 10:13 PM

      regarding to the out-of-textbox issue, my guess is that when FC renders text in a textbox, it does not listen to the width and position of the textbox, instead, it still follows the page size restriction. I have no idea whether it's true or not, just my 2 cents.

    I tried rsvg-convert v2.40.20 in Windows 10 and it worked fine for me except for the text font issue. It doesn't seem to read anything from fonts.conf. I set the variable environment PANGO_WIN32_DEBUG=true and watched it load the fonts and it always show the same regardless of what I put in fonts.conf (or deleted it complete). setting variables FONTCONFIG_PATH and FONTCONFIG_FILE also did not help. Do you know why?

      Do you mean that was svgfilter rendition or text rendering defect? No idea why it is like that. A filter can be be spotted in the svg tag inside.

      is it the same with:
      PANGOCAIRO_BACKEND=fc
      or
      PANGOCAIRO_BACKEND=win32

      There are no filters, only:

      OK so thats not svg filter, PANGOCAIRO_BACKEND=win32 is already the default
      in cmd box type the following before running rsvg-convert:

      SET PANGOCAIRO_BACKEND=fc

    Hello TumaGonx Zakkum, thanks for your effort!!!
    I was coping around and faced bad text output when converting to png. Typing in powershell 'SET PANGOCAIRO_BACKEND=fc' to avoid
    font warnings like
    '(rsvg-convert.exe:9488): Pango-WARNING **: couldn't load font "F1 Not-Rotated 0.7998046875", falling back to "Sans Not-Rotated 0.7998046875", expect ugly output.'
    didn't help me :( Text is indeed ugly, any workaround on that?

      what kind of font is "F1" that installed on your system? otf,ttf? though freetype should support any kind of font.

      Delete
  37. AnonymousFebruary 14, 2018 at 6:58 PM

    F1 stands for font 1. Means there's a F1.ttf in the same dir with the SVG file.

      I don't think that's how it (svg or fontconfig) works

      please check fontconfig manual

      the overall workflow is like:
      rsvg -> pango-cairo -> cairo-ft -> fontconfig -> freetype <-> cairo

    Hello,
    I don't know why but when using the utility, to convert a few svgz to a pdf doc, I don't have any text in it. they open correctly in any browser or with adobe svg viewer. perhaps font management has something to do with it. I don't seem to have found any clues in previous messages here, so I'll be glad if someone can come up with any hint!

    The very first and most important issue to understand about SVG is the fact that it isn't a proprietary format.
