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 {{filename.svg}}
  • Export an SVG file into a bitmap with the default format (PNG) and the default resolution (96 DPI):
    inkscape {{filename.svg}} -o {{filename.png}}
  • Export an SVG file into a bitmap of 600x400 pixels (aspect ratio distortion may occur):
    inkscape {{filename.svg}} -o {{filename.png}} -w {{600}} -h {{400}}
  • Export the drawing (bounding box of all objects) of an SVG file into a bitmap:
    inkscape {{filename.svg}} -o {{filename.png}} -D
  • Export a single object, given its ID, into a bitmap:
    inkscape {{filename.svg}} -i {{id}} -o {{object.png}}
  • Export an SVG document to PDF, converting all texts to paths:
    inkscape {{filename.svg}} -o {{filename.pdf}} --export-text-to-path
  • Duplicate the object with id="path123", rotate the duplicate 90 degrees, save the file, and quit Inkscape:
    inkscape {{filename.svg}} --select=path123 --verb="{{EditDuplicate;ObjectRotate90;FileSave;FileQuit}}"
