.. _sphinx.ext.imgconverter:
: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
.. role:: code-py(code)
:language: Python
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.
By default the extension uses ImageMagick_ to perform conversions,
and will not work if ImageMagick is not installed.
.. _ImageMagick: https://www.imagemagick.org
.. 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``).
