export inkscape SVG to PNG from commandline
Dear list,
Would anyone have a script lying around to export inkscape SVGs to PNG from the commandline ?
Any pointer would be appreciated.
Kind regards, Tobias
for windows, try:
inkscape -f <infile.svg> -e <outfile.png>
You might have to provide paths.
Or to convert a whole directory:
for i in *.svg do inkscape -f "$i" -e "$i.png"

You could also use ImageMagick http://www.imagemagick.org/. You can even export SVG's to PNG's at 16-bit & with optional alpha channel. This is a good way to circumvent the 8-bit limitations of the Inkscape PNG export.
ImageMagick is invoked via command line. In the case of Inkscape/SVG, this would be something such as:
'convert -depth 16 -background transparent [your_SVG].svg [your_PNG].png'
And you can do much more! Imho, ImageMagick is just a great addition to Inkscape.
HTH,

Anything wrong with
inkscape --export-png=output.png \ --export-width=60 --export-height=60 \ input.svg
(there is also --export-area to process part of the image instead of the whole image)
