Are you tired of cumbersome graphic design tools or bloated online converters just to resize and export SVG logos? Look no further! I'm thrilled (really, ecstatic... if you knew me, you'd laugh right now) to introduce Replicon, a lightweight CLI tool and frontend UI designed to streamline the process of converting SVG icons to various formats, including PNG, AVIF, GIF, HEIF, JP2, JXL, JPEG, RAW, TIFF, and WEBP, with ease.

What is Replicon?

Replicon, short for "replicate icon," is a command-line interface (CLI) tool developed to simplify the often-tedious task of converting SVG logos to multiple file formats and sizes. As a web developer myself, I found existing solutions either unsatisfactory or filled with unnecessary features. That's why I created Replicon: to provide a straightforward, no-frills solution tailored to the specific needs of developers and designers.

How Does Replicon Work?

Option 1: CLI Tool

  1. Install the CLI Tool: Simply install Replicon globally via npm using npm install -g @667/replicon or use npx to run it directly without installation.
  2. Run Replicon: Navigate to your project directory containing the SVG logo you wish to convert and run replicon in your terminal. Follow the prompts to specify the input SVG file, output directory, desired formats, sizes, and magnifications.
  3. Voila!: Replicon will swiftly generate files of your SVG logo in the specified formats, sizes, and magnifications, ready for use in your web projects.

Option 2: Web UI

Replicon Web UI

Alternatively, you can utilize Replicon through its intuitive web interface:

  1. Access the Web UI: Visit Replicon's website in your browser.
  2. Upload Your SVG: Use the interface to upload your SVG logo and configure the desired output formats, sizes, and magnifications.
  3. Download Your Files: Once configured, Replicon will generate the files based on your specifications and automatically stream the generated files to you for your easy integration of them into your web projects.

With Replicon, you have the flexibility to choose the method that best suits your workflow: whether it's through the command line interface for quick and automated conversions, or via the user-friendly web interface for a visual and interactive experience.

Why Replicon?

  • Versatility: Replicon supports a wide range of output formats, including PNG, AVIF, GIF, HEIF, JP2, JXL, JPEG, RAW, TIFF, and WEBP, giving you the flexibility to choose the format that best suits your project requirements.
