About:
Resvg is a high-performance SVG rendering tool and library written in Rust. It provides robust parsing and rendering capabilities for SVG files, converting them into raster images or other formats. Its main value proposition is speed, security, and correctness, making it an ideal alternative to traditional rendering engines like Cairo or librsvg.
Key Features:
  • High-performance rendering engine
  • Written in Rust for memory safety and speed
  • Supports a wide subset of the SVG specification
  • Provides both a command-line tool and a library
Use Cases:
  • Generating thumbnails or previews of SVG images on servers
  • Converting SVG assets to raster formats in build pipelines
  • Embedding a secure SVG renderer into applications
Alternatives:
  • librsvg – A widely used GNOME library for SVG rendering, but written in C and historically less performant than Resvg.
  • ImageMagick – A general-purpose image manipulation suite that supports SVG via delegates, but is heavier and less specialized.
