svgshot

Svgshot takes 'screenshots' of webpages as minimised SVGs. This makes them great for rendering in videos or webpages.

Example

svgshot https://en.wikipedia.org
# loading https://en.wikipedia.org
# writing Wikipedia__the_free_encyclopedia.svg

With --block for removing text¹:

For more examples, take a look at the Examples directory.

¹ Orginally this was intended to block out text like the BLOKK font, but I couldn't do this without creating truly huge SVGs. If you have any ideas as to how this could be achieved, let me know!

Installation

With node and inkscape installed:

npm install -g svgshot

If you don't have inkscape installed on windows, try scoop:

scoop install inkscape

For temporary usage you might want to use npx:

npx svgshot https://en.wikipedia.org

TODO

Replace SVG dimensions with viewBox so they dont get weirdly warped when rendered at the wrong size: https://gist.github.com/fyrebase/4604f540bc4a329ff3bfde225775d39e
