Aspose.SVG for .NET is a robust API for working with Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) in .NET applications. It enables developers to programmatically create, load, edit, traverse, render, and convert SVG documents, without relying on external graphics tools.

This repository provides the .NET SDK, ready-to-run examples, and concise developer-oriented documentation to help you quickly integrate SVG processing into your applications.

This repository is organized to help you find what you need quickly:

The Docs and Examples folders are designed to be used together: documentation explains the concepts, while examples demonstrate working code.

Aspose.SVG for .NET covers the most common SVG workflows required in real-world applications:

• Create and load SVG documents from files, streams, URLs, or memory strings.
• Edit SVG content using a full DOM API (elements, attributes, paths, styles).
• Traverse and inspect the SVG DOM using standard navigation techniques.
• Convert SVG to PDF for document publishing and reporting scenarios.
• Convert SVG to raster images (PNG, JPG, BMP, TIFF, GIF).
• Save SVG as SVGZ (compressed SVG).
• Render SVG with fine-grained control over resolution, page size, background, and output settings.
• Vectorize raster images and text into SVG paths.

The API is designed for automation, batch processing, and backend services, as well as desktop and server-side applications.

Aspose.SVG for .NET allows you to convert SVG files to PDF documents using a single API call. This approach is ideal for server-side applications, reporting systems, and document generation workflows where vector graphics must be preserved in a fixed-layout format.

using Aspose.Svg.Saving;
using Aspose.Svg.Converters;

    // Convert SVG to PDF
    Converter.ConvertSVG("image.svg", new PdfSaveOptions(), "image.pdf");

You can convert SVG documents to raster image formats by loading the SVG into an SVGDocument and applying ImageSaveOptions. This method gives you more control over rendering parameters and is suitable for generating previews, thumbnails, and bitmap-based outputs.

using Aspose.Svg;
using System.IO;
using Aspose.Svg.Saving;
using Aspose.Svg.Rendering.Image;
using Aspose.Svg.Converters;

// Initialize an SVG document from a file
using (SVGDocument document = new SVGDocument(Path.Combine(DataDir, "image.svg")))
{
    // Initialize ImageSaveOptions
    ImageSaveOptions saveOptions = new ImageSaveOptions(ImageFormat.Jpeg);

    // Convert SVG to JPG
    Converter.ConvertSVG(document, saveOptions, Path.Combine(OutputDir, "image.jpg"));
}

Aspose.SVG for .NET supports image vectorization, allowing you to convert raster images such as PNG or JPG into scalable SVG graphics. This is useful for creating resolution-independent graphics, optimizing assets, and transforming bitmap images into editable vector paths.

using Aspose.Svg;
using System.IO;
using Aspose.Svg.ImageVectorization;
using Aspose.Svg.Saving;

// Initialize an instance of the ImageVectorizer class
ImageVectorizer vectorizer = new ImageVectorizer();

// Vectorize image from a specified file
SVGDocument document = vectorizer.Vectorize(Path.Combine(DataDir, "flower.png"));

// Save the vectorized image as an SVG file 
document.Save(Path.Combine(OutputDir, "flower.svg"));

1. Install Aspose.SVG for .NET using NuGet or download the library.

For example, run the following command in the Visual Studio Package Manager Console to download the NuGet package: Install-Package Aspose.SVG

If you already have Aspose.SVG for NET installed and you want to update it, run the following command to get the latest version: Update-Package Aspose.SVG

2. Review the Docs/getting-started section for installation and licensing basics. Any operating system that can install Mono (.NET 6.0+ Framework support) or use .NET Core can use Aspose.SVG for .NET. This includes Windows, Linux, and MacOS.
3. Explore the Examples folder to see common scenarios in action.
4. Use the API reference for detailed class and method descriptions.

In order to make changes in the repository, you need to:

1. Create a branch with the proposed changes whose name matches the feature/* pattern.
2. Create a pull request for this branch. It will be automatically assigned to a suitable reviewer.
3. Once the request is approved, it can be merged.

If you encounter issues, have questions, or need technical assistance:

• Use the official documentation and API reference.
• Visit the Aspose support forums.

Aspose.SVG for .NET is a commercial library. You can start with a free evaluation and later apply a license for production use. Licensing details and instructions are available in the documentation.
