How to convert svg to eps using imagemagick

Question

I am trying to convert svg image to eps using imagemagick. I can convert the image using imagemagick, but the image size is too large compared to the original image size, and the content does not display correctly, as in svg.

Answer 1

I was also interested in this. However, it seems that Imagemagick may not be the best tool for this.

Imagemagick is a "bitmap processor", but SVG and EPS are vector formats. Thus, the use of Imagemagick will cause these images to lose information, since it must convert from a vector format to a raster format, and then back to a vector. This probably explains why the contents of your image do not display correctly.

Perhaps consider using Inkscape for this conversion using the following

inkscape ing.svg -E out.eps --export-ignore-filters --export-ps-level=3
