SVG to PNG Conversion in Java using GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud REST API

Convert SVG to PNG using Java API.

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a type of image file format that is used for vector graphics. It’s based on XML and can be styled with CSS. Unlike raster graphics (e.g. JPEG, PNG), SVG graphics can be scaled without losing quality. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a raster image format that uses pixels to represent images. It supports lossless compression, which means that the quality of the image isn’t degraded when it’s compressed. In this article, we will explore a step-by-step guide on how to convert SVG to PNG in Java using REST API.

The following topics will be covered in this tutorial:

Java SVG to PNG Converter REST API and SDK Installation

In order to convert SVG to a PNG image, we are going to use GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud SDK for Java. GroupDocs.Cloud API is a powerful tool for converting various types of documents and images, including SVG to PNG file format. It also supports a wide range of file formats, allowing you to convert not only SVG but also PDFs, Word, Excel, CAD files, raster images, etc. Integrating the API into Java applications is straightforward, allowing you to perform the conversion service quickly and without any additional software.

You can either download the API’s JAR file or use the following Maven configurations. Add repository and dependency to your project’s pom.xml file.

Maven Repository:

<repository>
    <id>groupdocs-artifact-repository</id>
    <name>GroupDocs Artifact Repository</name>
