Coveralls github CircleCI build node version npm version npm monthly downloads

Getting Started

Installation

To use svg-to-img in your project, run:

npm install svg-to-img -S

Note: When you install svg-to-img, it downloads a recent version of Chromium (~170Mb Mac, ~282Mb Linux, ~280Mb Win) that is guaranteed to work with the library.

Debian

If you're planning on running svg-to-img on Debian, you will need to manually install the following dependencies:

#!/bin/bash

apt-get update
apt-get install -yq gconf-service libasound2 libatk1.0-0 libc6 libcairo2 libcups2 libdbus-1-3 \
  libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libgcc1 libgconf-2-4 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libnspr4 \
  libpango-1.0-0 libpangocairo-1.0-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libx11-xcb1 libxcb1 libxcomposite1 \
  libxcursor1 libxdamage1 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxss1 libxtst6 \
  ca-certificates fonts-liberation libappindicator1 libnss3 lsb-release xdg-utils wget

Usage

Caution: svg-to-img uses async/await which is only supported in Node v7.6.0 or greater.

Example - converting a svg to png:

const svgToImg = require("svg-to-img");

(async () => {
  const image = await svgToImg.from("<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'/>").toPng();
  
  console.log(image);
})();

Example - converting a svg to jpeg and saving the image as example.jpeg:

const svgToImg = require("svg-to-img");

(async () => {
  await svgToImg.from("<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'/>").toJpeg({
    path: "./example.jpeg"
  });
})();

Example - resizing a svg proportionally and converting it to webp:

const svgToImg = require("svg-to-img");

(async () => {
  const image = await svgToImg.from("<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'/>").toWebp({
    width: 300
  });
  
  console.log(image);
})();

Example - converting a svg to base64-encoded png:

const svgToImg = require("svg-to-img");

(async () => {
  const image = await svgToImg.from("<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'/>").toPng({
    encoding: "base64"
  });
  
  console.log(image);
})();

API Documentation

svgToImg.from(svg)

  • svg <Buffer|string> SVG markup to be converted.
  • returns: <[Svg]> a new Svg object.

The method returns a svg instance based on the given argument.

svg.to([options])

  • options <[Object]> Options object which might have the following properties:
    • path <[string]> The file path to save the image to. The image type will be inferred from file extension. If path is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to current working directory. If no path is provided, the image won't be saved to the disk.
    • type <[string]> Specify image type, can be either png, jpeg or webp. Defaults to png.
    • quality <[number]> The quality of the image, between 0-1. Defaults to 1. Not applicable to png images.
    • width <[number]> width of the output image. Defaults to the natural width of the SVG.
    • height <[number]> height of the output image. Defaults to the natural height of the SVG.
    • clip <[Object]> An object which specifies clipping region of the output image. Should have the following fields:
      • x <[number]> x-coordinate of top-left corner of clip area
      • y <[number]> y-coordinate of top-left corner of clip area
      • width <[number]> width of clipping area
      • height <[number]> height of clipping area
    • background <[string]> background color applied to the output image, must be a valid CSS color value.
    • encoding <[string]> Specify encoding, can be either base64, utf8, binary or hex. Returns a Buffer if this option is omitted.
  • returns: <[Promise]<Buffer|String>> Promise which resolves to the output image.

svg.toPng([options])

  • options <[Object]> Optional options object that can have the same properties as the to method except for the type property.
  • returns: <[Promise]<Buffer|String>> Promise which resolves to the png image.

This method is simply a shorthand for the to method.

svg.toJpeg([options])

  • options <[Object]> Optional options object that can have the same properties as the to method except for the type property.
  • returns: <[Promise]<Buffer|String>> Promise which resolves to the jpeg image.

This method is simply a shorthand for the to method.

svg.toWebp([options])

  • options <[Object]> Optional options object that can have the same properties as the to method except for the type property.
  • returns: <[Promise]<Buffer|String>> Promise which resolves to the webp image.

This method is simply a shorthand for the to method.
