A vector drawing can be any size, so you choose it — by width, height, scale or DPI — and the colour behind it. The SVG is cleaned of scripts and outside references first, then drawn and written as a JPG.
Cleaned, then drawn
The SVG is read as text. Before anything draws it, <script> elements, embedded HTML, event-handler attributes and every reference to something outside the file — an image on another site, a stylesheet import — are removed, and the panel says how many: “Removed 1 script, 2 external references”. The cleaned drawing is then rendered by the browser at exactly the size you chose.
The result keeps its transparency until the JPG is written, so the Background panel's colour and its edge-fringe clean-up apply as they do to a PNG.
Step by step
- Drop an SVG file.
- Choose the size by scale, width, height or DPI and press Add to the queue.
- Pick the background colour in the Background panel.
- Press Download JPG.
Choosing the size
An SVG with width="200" height="100" drawn at scale 2 is 400 × 200 pixels; at 300 DPI it is 625 × 313. Without a stated size, the viewBox is used, and without either, 300 × 150 — and the panel says it guessed.
