Convert SVG to image (JPEG, PNG, etc.) in the browser
The solution to convert SVG to blob URL and blob URL to png image
const svg=`<svg version="1.1" baseProfile="full" width="300" height="200"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="red" />
<circle cx="150" cy="100" r="80" fill="green" />
<text x="150" y="125" font-size="60" text-anchor="middle" fill="white">SVG</text></svg>`
svgToPng(svg,(imgData)=>{
const pngImage = document.createElement('img');
document.body.appendChild(pngImage);
pngImage.src=imgData;
});
function svgToPng(svg, callback) {
const url = getSvgUrl(svg);
svgUrlToPng(url, (imgData) => {
callback(imgData);
URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
});
}
function getSvgUrl(svg) {
return URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([svg], { type: 'image/svg+xml' }));
}
function svgUrlToPng(svgUrl, callback) {
const svgImage = document.createElement('img');
// imgPreview.style.position = 'absolute';
// imgPreview.style.top = '-9999px';
document.body.appendChild(svgImage);
svgImage.onload = function () {
const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = svgImage.clientWidth;
canvas.height = svgImage.clientHeight;
const canvasCtx = canvas.getContext('2d');
canvasCtx.drawImage(svgImage, 0, 0);
const imgData = canvas.toDataURL('image/png');
callback(imgData);
// document.body.removeChild(imgPreview);
};
svgImage.src = svgUrl;
}
This seems to work in most browsers:
function copyStylesInline(destinationNode, sourceNode) {
var containerElements = ["svg","g"];
for (var cd = 0; cd < destinationNode.childNodes.length; cd++) {
var child = destinationNode.childNodes[cd];
if (containerElements.indexOf(child.tagName) != -1) {
copyStylesInline(child, sourceNode.childNodes[cd]);
continue;
}
var style = sourceNode.childNodes[cd].currentStyle || window.getComputedStyle(sourceNode.childNodes[cd]);
if (style == "undefined" || style == null) continue;
for (var st = 0; st < style.length; st++){
child.style.setProperty(style[st], style.getPropertyValue(style[st]));
}
}
}
function triggerDownload (imgURI, fileName) {
var evt = new MouseEvent("click", {
view: window,
bubbles: false,
cancelable: true
});
var a = document.createElement("a");
a.setAttribute("download", fileName);
a.setAttribute("href", imgURI);
a.setAttribute("target", '_blank');
a.dispatchEvent(evt);
}
function downloadSvg(svg, fileName) {
var copy = svg.cloneNode(true);
copyStylesInline(copy, svg);
var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
var bbox = svg.getBBox();
canvas.width = bbox.width;
canvas.height = bbox.height;
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, bbox.width, bbox.height);
var data = (new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString(copy);
var DOMURL = window.URL || window.webkitURL || window;
var img = new Image();
var svgBlob = new Blob([data], {type: "image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8"});
var url = DOMURL.createObjectURL(svgBlob);
img.onload = function () {
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
DOMURL.revokeObjectURL(url);
if (typeof navigator !== "undefined" && navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob)
{
var blob = canvas.msToBlob();
navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob(blob, fileName);
}
else {
var imgURI = canvas
.toDataURL("image/png")
.replace("image/png", "image/octet-stream");
triggerDownload(imgURI, fileName);
}
document.removeChild(canvas);
};
img.src = url;
}
Here is how you can do it through JavaScript:
- Use the canvg JavaScript library to render the SVG image using Canvas: https://github.com/gabelerner/canvg
- Capture a data URI encoded as a JPG (or PNG) from the Canvas, according to these instructions: Capture HTML Canvas as gif/jpg/png/pdf?
jbeard4 solution worked beautifully.
I'm using Raphael SketchPad to create an SVG. Link to the files in step 1.
For a Save button (id of svg is "editor", id of canvas is "canvas"):
$("#editor_save").click(function() {
// the canvg call that takes the svg xml and converts it to a canvas
canvg('canvas', $("#editor").html());
// the canvas calls to output a png
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var img = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
// do what you want with the base64, write to screen, post to server, etc...
});
