在 Web Worker 中将 SVG 转换为 PNG

Question

I would like to convert an SVG to a PNG inside a Web Worker. My problem is, that the DOM is not accessible from within the Worker, so I cannot draw the SVG to a canvas or something like that.

Answer 1

Weeell, you can always manually parse the SVG and build a bitmap from that, but (!) it's a tad more work obviously as you'd have to build a SVG parser as well as a PNG writer, not to mention rasterizing code for lines and two-modes polygon fill incl. anti-aliasing, pattern, matrix, composition, blending and gradient support. Could be a nice weekend project though :)

On a more serious note though: you can only do this with the built-in tools using regular context (none-webworker) or optionally set up a server based service.

Answer 2

You can use thumbo

import Thumbo, { Transfer } from "thumbo";

Thumbo.init(async () => {
  Thumbo.thumbnail(
    Transfer(await (await fetch("/path/to/img.svg")).arrayBuffer()),
    Thumbo.ImageFormat.Svg,
    20,
    20
  ).then((thumbnailBuffer) => {
    document.getElementById("img1").src = URL.createObjectURL(
      new Blob([thumbnailBuffer])
    );
  });

  Thumbo.thumbnailFromUrl(
    "https://example.com/image.svg",
    Thumbo.ImageFormat.Svg,
    20,
    20
  ).then((thumbnailBuffer) => {
    document.getElementById("img2").src = URL.createObjectURL(
      new Blob([thumbnailBuffer])
    );
  });
});

Under the hood, thumbo uses Rust's tiny_skia & resvg libraries compiled to a Web Assembly module, to render SVG in a web worker and convert it to PNG. See thumbo-core , thumbo
