Convert SVG icons to PNG format

There are several good sources of royalty-free SVG icons such as material.io. You can download an icon in SVG format and quickly convert it to a PNG of practically any size—we use a width of 512 pixels in the examples below.

Using rsvg-convert

rsvg-convert bluetooth-white-48dp.svg -h 512 -o bluetooth-white-512p.png

rsvg-convert is distributed with librsvg and can be installed on macOS using Homebrew

brew install librsvg

On Ubuntu, install package librsvg2-bin

sudo apt install librsvg2-bin

Using ImageMagick

convert -density 1200 -resize 512x512 -background transparent bluetooth-white-48dp.svg bluetooth-white-512p.png
