Can an SVG vector graphic be converted to a PNG file format for use in Fireworks?
Solution 1
I'd recommend downloading Inkscape, which is the freeware equivalent of Illustrator. It can export svg to png, and it uses SVG as its native image format.
Solution 2
- open the SVG file with IE
- right click the picture in the IE web page
- 'save as' PNG file
Solution 3
I'm going to guess you're on Windows, but on Linux I use librsvg2-bin.
Then use rsvg-convert -o output.png input.svg
A quick google search brought me this if you're only going to be able to use Windows: http://www.openclipart.org/wiki/SVG_Tools

As many of you know, there are quite a few websites that sell royalty free graphics. Some sites sell vector graphics (svg) or give you the option to download them as such.
I don't have a graphics editor that will support SVG. Currently, I'm working with an older version of Fireworks. I cannot open a SVG file type. (I also cannot afford to purchase PhotoShop or Illustrator software).
I'm running Windows on my PC.
Questions:
- What are my options?
- Is there a SVG to PNG converter?
- Would the converted file retain everything correctly?
- Would I be able to work with the converted SVG file as I do a PNG?
