Exporting Images, Pdf, and Xps

Once SKSvg.Picture is available, export paths are simple and explicit.

Raster output

SKPictureExtensions.ToBitmap() and ToImage() are the main raster helpers.

using System.IO;
using SkiaSharp;
using Svg.Skia;

using var svg = new SKSvg();
svg.Load("image.svg");

using var stream = File.OpenWrite("image.webp");
svg.Picture!.ToImage(
    stream,
    SKColors.Transparent,
    SKEncodedImageFormat.Webp,
    100,
    1f,
    1f,
    SKImageInfo.PlatformColorType,
    SKAlphaType.Unpremul,
    svg.Settings.Srgb);

Svg, pdf, and xps output

SKPictureExtensions also includes document-style exports:

using SkiaSharp;
using Svg.Skia;

using var svg = new SKSvg();
svg.Load("image.svg");

svg.Picture!.ToSvg("image-roundtrip.svg", SKColors.Transparent, 1f, 1f);
svg.Picture!.ToPdf("image.pdf", SKColors.Transparent, 1f, 1f);
svg.Picture!.ToXps("image.xps", SKColors.Transparent, 1f, 1f);

Scale and background

The export helpers accept:

a background color,
independent scaleX and scaleY,
encoding quality for raster formats,
explicit color-space and alpha-mode settings for bitmap output.

That makes it possible to reuse the same SKPicture for:

transparent icon output,
white-backed document previews,
upscaled raster assets.

Converter CLI formats
