Bash - export *.svg to *.png under Windows

In this short article, we are going to look at how quickly export some *.svg file to *.png under Bash using Inkscape.

Quick solution:

"/C/Program Files/Inkscape/bin/inkscape.exe" --export-type="png" --export-filename="icon-16x16.png" -w 16 -h 16 "icon.svg"

or (in older Inkscape):

"/C/Program Files/Inkscape/inkscape.exe" -z -e "icon-16x16.png" -w 16 -h 16 "icon.svg"

Where: -w 16 -h 16 should be replaced with desired width and height.
