Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a widely used format for vector-based images, but sometimes, there is a need to convert SVG files into XML Paper Specification (XPS) format. XPS is a fixed-layout document format similar to PDF, used primarily for sharing and printing high-quality documents. This blog post will guide you through the process of converting SVG to XPS in C#.
SVG to XPS Converter - C# API Installation
You can convert Vector images to XPS format by installing Conholdate.Total for .NET from the New Releases page or running the following NuGet installation command:
Install-Package Conholdate.Total
Why Convert SVG to XPS?
There are several reasons why you might need to convert an SVG file into an XPS document:
High-Quality Printing – XPS format ensures high-fidelity document printing with fixed layouts, making it an excellent choice for professional publishing.
Preserving Layouts – Unlike raster images, XPS retains the exact layout, fonts, and vector properties of an SVG file.
Compatibility with Windows Applications – XPS is natively supported by Microsoft applications, making it easier to integrate into enterprise-level document workflows.
Archiving and Document Sharing – XPS provides a standardized way to store vector graphics in a document format that ensures consistency across different devices.
