Usage

The module takes in utf-8 encoded svg_string and returns base64 encoded PNG string.

Lets say our svg looks like this :

We can convert it to PNG by:

import resvg_py

svg_string = """
<svg width="300" height="130" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <rect width="200" height="100" x="10" y="10" rx="20" ry="20" fill="blue" />
</svg>
"""

png_bytes: list[bytes] = resvg_py.svg_to_bytes(svg_string=svg_string) # a large list of bytes

In order to convert image to base64:

import resvg_py
import base64

svg_string = """
    <svg width="300" height="130" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
      <rect width="200" height="100" x="10" y="10" rx="20" ry="20" fill="blue" />
    </svg>
"""

# a large list of bytes
png_bytes: list[bytes] = resvg_py.svg_to_bytes(svg_string=svg_string)
base64_utf8_str = base64.b64encode(bytes(png_bytes)).decode("utf-8")
print(f"data:image/png;base64,{base64_utf8_str}")

This should return the following PNG image (check using inspect element):

We can also do something like this :

import resvg_py

svg = ... # path to svg file

print(resvg_py.svg_to_bytes(svg_path=svg))

But please do note that resvg first looks for svg_string and if that is empty then it looks for svg_path
