# SVG to PNG

We can't use SVGs in EmulationStation directly because the rendering engine has very poor support for SVGs. Therefore, we need to convert the SVGs to PNGs. I couldn't find any tool that would properly convert SVG to PNG (tried imagemagick, inkscape and online tools). Therefore, this page is used to (manually) generate the PNGs images from the SVGs. The SVGs are rendered on a canvas, then the images can be saved as PNG. Ideally this should be automated, obviously.
