Conversion APIs in Aspose.SVG for .NET
- Use Converter.ConvertSVG() for concise SVG-to-output conversion when your application needs to load a document, apply save options, and write an output file. This is the most direct workflow for SVG to PDF, XPS, and image formats.
- Use SVGDocument.RenderTo() with a rendering device when your code already works with lower-level rendering options or output devices such as PdfDevice, XpsDevice, or ImageDevice.
- Use Renderer.Render() when you need to send multiple documents to an output device, for example when building a merged output workflow.
Image-to-SVG conversion is a vectorization workflow. Use
Converter.ConvertImageToSVG() for direct raster-to-SVG output, or
ImageVectorizer when you need the vectorized result as an SVGDocument.
Online SVG Converter
Use the interactive converter to test SVG output before adding the same workflow to a C# application. Load an SVG file, choose the target format, and download the converted result with default save options.
Conversion Options
SVG rendering options control output appearance without changing the source SVG. Common settings include background color, CSS handling, page setup, margins, and horizontal or vertical resolution. Format-specific options live in classes such as PdfSaveOptions, XpsSaveOptions, and ImageSaveOptions.
If the output is cropped, has unexpected page size, missing fonts, missing images, or an unexpected background, start with the focused troubleshooting sections in Convert SVG to PDF and Convert SVG to Images.
FAQ
What is the easiest way to convert SVG in C#?
Use Converter.ConvertSVG() with the appropriate save options, such as PdfSaveOptions, XpsSaveOptions, or ImageSaveOptions.
When should I use RenderTo() instead of ConvertSVG()?
Use RenderTo() when your application already works with rendering devices or needs explicit control over PdfDevice, XpsDevice, or ImageDevice.
Can Aspose.SVG convert SVGZ files?
Yes. Aspose.SVG for .NET can load SVGZ as compressed SVG content. You can convert SVGZ to SVG, render SVGZ to PDF or PNG, or save SVG as SVGZ for compressed delivery.
Is image to SVG conversion the same as SVG rendering?
No. SVG rendering takes SVG input and creates PDF, XPS, or raster output. Image to SVG conversion is vectorization: it traces raster pixels into SVG paths.
