CLI Reference

The novasvg command-line tool converts SVG files to PNG, prints information about a document, queries elements with CSS selectors, and converts whole directories in one go. Converting is the default action, so novasvg input.svg works without any subcommand.

Synopsis

bash

novasvg [OPTIONS] <input>              # convert (default action)
novasvg convert [OPTIONS] <input>      # same, with the explicit subcommand
novasvg info <input> [--json]          # document information
novasvg query <selector> <input> [--json]
novasvg batch <input-dir> [<output-dir>]

Quick start

bash

# Install
pip install novasvg

# Convert SVG -> PNG (writes input.png next to the input)
novasvg input.svg

# Choose the output file and size
novasvg input.svg -o output.png -w 800 -H 600
