Macos how to convert images fast (png, SVG, you name it)

Converting images fast is a critical productivity element. Specially for content creators

This article may be updated to add more value. ❗

• Inspiration: I settled to write my notes directly on medium. And to publish anything that is useful as is. This is part of an enabling process for parallel time, which is part of a self-growth running loop ([ Expect a great story about this ]). Enable yourself to tap into parallel time power, space, and tissue. It’s there. Are we tapping and enabling ourselves? )

✨ Productivity

• Fast access
• Efficiency
• Not think much of it

✨ Converting images super fast with Quick action

• Already a supported feature by Macos
• Doesn’t support svg

• That’s all it takes you are done already.

✨ Doesn’t work with SVG. The conversion output an empty file

✨ Get productive with SVG conversion

GUI solution

• The best is inkscape
◌ https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.3/
  ◌ I prefer to install from official website
• You can use

brew install inkscape

And as you can see you can use the ⇧ + ⌘ + E for productivity.

And you get

• Set the image size quickly. And other settings.
  ◌ And hit export. If you want to output in the same dir with the same name.
  ◌ Otherwise Export As

That should cover it. For productivity.

CLI Options for converting images

Those can come in handy. If you make some automation. Using macOS shortcuts. Or other means. Including Raycast commands

• rsvg-convert
  ◌ brew install librsvg

rsvg-convert -h 500 icon.svg > icon-32.png

• ImageMagick
  ◌ https://www.imagemagick.org/script/download.php#macosx

 convert picture.svg picture.png

• Inkskap does have a CLI command as well

 /Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/MacOS/inkscape --export-type png --export-filename output.png -w 1024 test.svg
