A Utility to convert your PNG files to SVG files.
One evening, I was playing with OpenAI DALLE-2 text to image AI.
And I wondered : Is there a way to tell OpenAI DALLE-2, to give me SVG instead of PNG ?
I searched for the answer a few minutes, immediately stopped and turned to the world of Open Source, starting by Github :
Okay, It's very likely that some people have developed utilities to convert PNG to SVG.
And indeed, I soon found the Starriest Github repo about that : https://github.com/ianmackinnon/png2svg
Many thanks to Ian Mac Kinnon :
- Although it dated back to 12 years ( :awe: ! )
- It took me only a few minutes to fix the errors caused by outdated python version, and dependencies !!
- I do not know how many times you successfully repaired an outdated project which was not updated for twelve years, in less than an hour, that is a first for myself !!
I think credit ❤️ also goes to the Pillow Python Imaging framework : what a reliable library, able to work great after twelve years of existence!!
I finally care to thank and give credit to the Python community as a whole, every time i was searching for an answer about Python, and particularly :
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20485571/attributeerror-module-object-has-no-attribute-div
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11914472/how-to-use-stringio-in-python3
- and a few more I apologize to, for not keeping the links as i worked fast.
Note that Pillow is the main dependency in png2svg

First, you need
python 3.1+, and themake -
then, you have to first install dependencies of the python project by running :
