Use librsvg / rsvg to convert SVG images using ImageMagick

I know that there are several answer versions in this question (for example: ImageMagick convert SVG to PNG, not working with RSVG support ), but in fact I can not find a real solution to my exact problem. My problem: I have a specific SVG file (and I will generate more) that ImageMagick inside SVG> PNG conversion process does not convert perfectly. Therefore, I need to change it to librsvg , because it is so, I tested these two lines with different results:

convert test.svg test.png // ( img: http://tinyurl.com/px2lw3v ) rsvg-convert test.svg -o test.png // ( img: http://tinyurl.com/lreu6sk )

I installed HomeBrew. As described here: ImageMagick converts SVG to PNG, not working with RSVG enabled . I used this code to install ImageMagick brew install imagemagick --use-rsvg . I realized that he did not install librsvg , so I needed to remove it and reinstall it as follows: brew reinstall imagemagick --with-libsrvg librsvg --use-rsvg : this installed imagemagick and librsvg along with my mac. BUT does not bind them: convert -list format | grep SVG convert -list format | grep SVG given as:

  MSVG SVG rw+ ImageMagick own SVG internal renderer SVG SVG rw+ Scalable Vector Graphics (XML 2.9.0) SVGZ SVG rw+ Compressed Scalable Vector Graphics (XML 2.9.0)

while this is: convert -list delegate | grep svg convert -list delegate | grep svg given as:

  svg => "rsvg-convert" -o "%o" "%i"

I installed and uninstalled and reinstalled them several times, but nothing changed, and the script convert test.svg test.png do this without librsvg. I added lines to / usr / local / Cellar / imagemagick / 6.8.9-1 / lib / ImageMagick / config-Q16 / configure.xml with tags, but nothing progressed. I do not know what to do and how to connect ImageMagick and force to use another library for convert test.svg test.png .

Thank you for your help.

I tried and my solution is on Mac:

  • do brew doctor and brew update
  • just use brew reinstall imagemagick --with-librsvg // - you may be wrong!
  • try it. he should work!

Does he work?

If you want to use Homebrew to install imagemagick with svg support, you need to use an older version. They removed options from the installation process in early 2019.

  brew install https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/raw/46a2ef7c9f0380b8e19f8dfe37270caa27581353/Formula/imagemagick.rb --with-librsvg
