Java - convert SVG file to PNG file
7 points
In this article, we would like to show how to convert SVG file to PNG file using Java.
By default Java ImageIO doesn't support SVG files. It is necessary to use some external implementation that is Apache™ Batik SVG Toolkit.
The article contains example project that let's to convert SVG files to PNG files.
The project was created as Mavan project and run using VS Code.
Used SVG file is available here and should be saved under e.g. /path/to/input.svg (change it in Program.java file also).
