npm install save-svg-as-png

To save a PNG, include the script saveSvgAsPng.js in your page, then call the saveSvgAsPng function with an SVG node and a filename:

saveSvgAsPng(document.getElementById("diagram"), "diagram.png");

The filename is the preferred filename when saving the image to the file system. The browser may change the name of the file if there is already a file by that name in the target directory.

If you want to scale the image up or down, you can pass a scale factor in an options object:

saveSvgAsPng(document.getElementById("diagram"), "diagram.png", {scale: 0.5});

Other options are documented below.

If you just want a dataURI for an SVG, you can call svgAsDataUri with an SVG node, options, and a callback:

svgAsDataUri(document.getElementById("diagram"), {}, function(uri) {
  ...
});

If you want a dataURI of a PNG generated from an SVG, you can call svgAsPngUri with an SVG node, options, and a callback:

svgAsPngUri(document.getElementById("diagram"), {}, function(uri) {
  ...
});

Compatible with browserify and requirejs.

If you want to use TypeScript, necessary type definitions are available in Typings public registry.

• backgroundColor — Creates a PNG with the given background color. Defaults to transparent.
• left - Specify the viewbox's left position. Defaults to 0.
• height - Specify the image's height. Defaults to the viewbox's height if given, or the element's non-percentage height, or the element's bounding box's height, or the element's CSS height, or the computed style's height, or 0.
• scale — Changes the resolution of the output PNG. Defaults to 1, the same dimensions as the source SVG.
• selectorRemap — A function that takes a CSS selector and produces its replacement in the CSS that's inlined into the SVG. Useful if your SVG style selectors are scoped by ancestor elements in your HTML document.
• modifyStyle - A function that takes CSS styles and returns replacement styles.
• top - Specify the viewbox's top position. Defaults to 0.
• width - Specify the image's width. Defaults to the viewbox's width if given, or the element's non-percentage width, or the element's bounding box's width, or the element's CSS width, or the computed style's width, or 0.
• encoderType - A DOMString indicating the image format. The default type is image/png.
• encoderOptions - A Number between 0 and 1 indicating image quality. The default is 0.8
• canvg - If canvg is passed in, it will be used to write svg to canvas. This will allow support for Internet Explorer

run tests with tape

npm test

Chrome limits data URIs to 2MB, so you may have trouble generating PNGs beyod a certain size.

Internet Explorer will only work if canvg is passed in, otherwise it will throw a SecurityError when calling toDataURL on a canvas that's been written to. canvg may have it's own issues with SVG support, so ensure you test the output after switching.
