SVG to PNG for Favicons

[TonyM]

Folks,

I have a wonderful library of icons in svg tiddlers, however when I create a new wiki I like to set the favicon so its east to recognise in a Browser tab, which often pin in the browser.

Dose anyone know of a way to convert an SVG tiddler, or is "code" to a png of the same size, ideal with a copy and paste?

Ideally it would be nice to do this in wiki where I have a large library but anywhere would be fine. There are plenty of tools out there that will convert svg files, But as a rule I have them in tiddler format instead.

ANother way maybe if I could export an svg tiddler as an svg file, then convert that. But I do not know what it would take to do this.

Thanks for any guidence

Regards

tony

Tech note: conversion of vector to bitmap can be a PITA. The formats are totally different and Segway between them involves tricks.

SCREEN CLIP of showing SVG to PNG is likely easiest as its already bit-ised.

Hi Tony

Modern browsers apart from Safari now directly support SVG favicons. I’ve updated the prerelease with a tweak so that SVG favicons can be used in TW5. Just rename the SVG image to $:/favicon.ico

You can try it out on the prerelease:

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Not sure what pitta is and I do know the difference thanks. Screenshots work but it is annoying to capture a square, ensure it is the size you want etc... Then save as the right format...

The svg improvement is welcome.

I agree direct use of SVG is best. Great JR is enabling it.
