New user here. I've managed to get the command line going by running inkscape --shell. I am stumped at my next step however. I want to convert a folder filled with svgs to pngs. Would this be the way to do this?

inkscape -f C:\folder\folder\*.svg -e C:\folder\folder\*.png

Thanks so much for your help.

There is an Inkscape batch convert for Windows at https://inkscape.org/~Johannski/%E2%98%85inkscape-batch-convert-svgpdfepsemfwmf-to-epspdfpngsvg

If you scroll right to the bottom and choose the download button ( the arrow icon pointing downwards )

Make a folder called for example 'svg'

make a folder in 'svg' called 'out'

Drop the script _InkscapeBatchConvert.bat and copies of you svgs into the 'svg' folder

run _InkscapeBatchConvert.bat - will ask 3 questions, input format - output format and dpi

If you use it in any random folder, it seems to descend into those folders looking for svg :)

So make sure you use it in a standalone folder

Possibly an easier method, if you are happy for the files to land in the same folder as the SVG.

inkscape --export-dpi=300 --export-type=png *.svg

Thank you guys so much! 

I got the batch file converter running finally. The problem now is it stops between every conversion to pop up a "tiff bitmap image import" dialogue asking about type, dpi, image rendering mode, etc. It offers the option to "Don't ask again" but always does. 

Is there a workaround to the dialog box?

Thanks again.

I think the converter was written before

Certain features where available in inkscape.

Can you try this ?

inkscape --actions="export-dpi:300;export-type:png;export-do;" *.svg

Adjust the dpi to whatever you want.

It will make the png in the same folder as the svg 

But is fairly fast

I will try this. Thank you!
