About:
Librsvg is a library that renders SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files into raster images or other vector formats using the Cairo graphics library. It provides a high-performance, standards-compliant implementation for embedding SVG support into applications. Its main value is enabling developers to display SVG content reliably across various platforms.
Key Features:
  • Cairo-based rendering
  • SVG 1.1/2.0 support
  • GObject integration
  • C API for embedding
Use Cases:
  • Embedding SVG rendering in GTK applications
  • Server-side image generation
  • Converting SVGs to PNG/PDF
Alternatives:
  • ImageMagick – General-purpose image processing suite with broader format support but potentially heavier footprint for SVG-only tasks.
