Re: [Inkscape-user] Shrinking the results of JPG to SVG conversion
Hi all,
Just a quick note to say that I need to batch convert the files so I can't open inkscape and do things like trace the bitmap as shown on sites like http://thefrugalcrafter.wordpress.com/2008/10/27/convert-a-png-to-a-svg-file works-for-jpg-too/

Hi all,
I have a number of *.jpg files that I need to convert to svg. I am using inkscape for the conversion. The problem is that the resulting svg is almost 5 times the size of the jpeg file. I have tried saving the file in compressed plain svg but with no success. The file is still very large. Is there anything I can do to shrink the file? I have run an open source cleanup tool called cleanSVG downloadable from codeplex but that has not helped.
I am open to using other JPG to SVG converters if inkscape is not the right tool for this exercise. Natively creating SVG is not an option at this point. Pranav
