I am planning a web-page where images will be generated online. Now it's about to be decided whether I want to use SVG or images generated by an backend script. Download is an essential feature. Is there a way to download an html - svg generated object as a PNG/JPG/... ?

1There are ways to convert SVG to PNG using PHP and then you can use whatever technique you like for the download.

thanks, that should be a good solution. however, there's no javascript class that could do it on the browserside? – El Dude Apr 22 '14 at 20:29

Yes actually, I hadn't thought of that. Not exactly a class but a simple way to do it would be render the svg to a canvas (visible or not) and export the canvas as a data URI. – Jared Khan Apr 22 '14 at 21:00
