SVG to Icons Script

Description

This little utility script, svg-to-icons.sh, is designed to automate the conversion of an SVG file into multiple PNG files, tailored for use as icons in a Chrome extension. It generates PNG files in the standard sizes required by Chrome (16x16, 48x48, and 128x128 pixels).

Prerequisites

  • ImageMagick
  • A Unix-like environment (Linux, MacOS)

Installation

  1. Ensure ImageMagick is installed on your system. If not, install it using:

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install imagemagick

  2. Clone or download this script into your local machine.

Usage

  1. Place your SVG file in the same directory as the script or provide the relative path.
  2. Make the script executable: 
    chmod +x svg-to-icons.sh
  3. Run the script with the SVG file as an argument: 
    ./svg-to-icons.sh your-icon.svg

The script will create a directory named icons and generate PNG files (icon16.png, icon48.png, icon128.png) with the corresponding sizes from the provided SVG file.
