Is there a tool to convert 302 PNG images to SVG? I know how to do it one by one using Inkscape, but I need a tool to convert the 302 image at once.

  • Do you want to vectorize them? or put Png inside a svg, which has not much sense.

  • A bit more context would help here. Has Rafael points out, one doesn't really convert PNG files to SVG. One is raster, one is vector.

This may help: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/13286/batch-convert-svg-to-png

Put your files on the same folder. Open your terminal, write

cd (your folder path)

for example

cd /Documents/FilesINeedToConvert

Then copy and paste this:

svg2png(){ png="${1%.*}.png"; inkscape --export-png="$png" --without-gui "$1" && pngcrush -brute -rem alla -rem text "$png" "$png.new" && mv "$png.new" "$png";}

That's for Inkscape, but if you install ImageMagick, you can use these others, here: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php :

this one

for i in *.svg; do convert "$i" "${i%.svg}.png"; done

OR this

find . -name \*.svg -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 -P4 -I{} bash -c 'X={}; convert "$X" "${X%.svg}.png"'

    This answer converts SVG to PNG, not PNG to SVG like the question asked... why is it selected as correct?

  • This is distinctly not what OP asked for - how did it get upvoted?
