When you include SVG images in a Sphinx project targeting a non-SVG-aware builder, this extension automatically converts them to PDF or PNG at build time, ensuring your documentation renders correctly.\n\nThe extension offers three pluggable backends for the actual conversion: Inkscape (full-featured but heavier), libRSVG's rsvg-convert (lighter weight), or CairoSVG (the lightest Python-based option). You choose which one to use by selecting the corresponding extension name in your Sphinx conf.py, and the tool must be installed separately on your system. Configuration is minimal\u2014mostly just ensuring the converter binary is in your PATH, with optional tweaks to command-line arguments.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a stable, actively maintained extension with low install friction and no known vulnerabilities. Install it if you use Sphinx with SVG images and target builders like LaTeX that don't natively support SVG. The main prerequisite\u2014having one of three external converters available\u2014is a reasonable trade-off for automatic image conversion. Choose the backend that fits your environment (Inkscape for full features, rsvg-convert for balance, CairoSVG for minimal dependencies)."},"id":"sphinxcontrib-svg2pdfconverter","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sphinxcontrib-svg2pdfconverter","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sphinxcontrib-svg2pdfconverter.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sphinxcontrib-svg2pdfconverter/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-05","license_spdx":"BSD-2-Clause","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sphinxcontrib-svg2pdfconverter","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Sphinx SVG to PDF or PNG converter extension"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":377822,"position":7120,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.1.0"}
