Convert SVG to EPS or PNG from command line
To use SVG in Overleaf or LaTeX without \usepackage{svg}
, convert SVG to EPS or PNG.
This may be needed for some journals that don’t allows using extra packages like svg
.
Convert SVG to EPS: vector graphics conversion at full quality from the command line (no GUI). Imagemagick doesn’t seem to be able to do this (Imagemagick makes gigantic raster EPS), but Inkscape does the vector SVG to EPS conversion well.
inkscape -E out.eps in.svg
Convert SVG to PNG (raster) with
inkscape -e out.png in.svg
See man inkscape
for more options e.g. to select PNG resolution.
