About:
svg2pdf is a command-line utility that converts Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) images into PDF documents. It leverages the powerful Cairo 2D graphics library to accurately render vector paths, shapes, and text. This provides a lightweight and reliable solution for embedding vector graphics into printable document formats.
Key Features:
  • Cairo-based rendering for high-fidelity output
  • Command-line interface for easy scripting and automation
  • Preserves vector quality of source SVGs in the PDF
  • Lightweight and fast execution
Use Cases:
  • Converting web-based SVG diagrams or logos into print-ready PDFs
  • Automating report generation that includes vector graphics
  • Batch processing of SVG assets for documentation
Alternatives:
  • ImageMagick – More versatile suite of image tools, but can be heavier and more complex for simple conversions.
  • Inkscape – GUI-based editor with CLI capabilities; offers more features but is less lightweight for pure conversion tasks.
