:mod:`sphinx.ext.imgconverter` -- A reference image converter using Imagemagick
===============================================================================
.. module:: sphinx.ext.imgconverter
:synopsis: Convert images to appropriate format for builders
.. versionadded:: 1.6
This extension converts images in your document to appropriate format for
builders. For example, it allows you to use SVG images with LaTeX builder.
As a result, you don't mind what image format the builder supports.
Internally, this extension uses Imagemagick_ to convert images.
.. _Imagemagick: https://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php
.. note::
Imagemagick rasterizes a SVG image on conversion. As a result, the image
becomes not scalable. To avoid that, please use other image converters like
`sphinxcontrib-svg2pdfconverter`__ (which uses Inkscape or
``rsvg-convert``).
