Usage

$: png_to_svg --help
Convert RGBA8 PNG images into SVGs, where each pixel of input creates one output rect

Usage: png_to_svg [OPTIONS] <INPUT_FILE> <OUTPUT_FILE>

Arguments:
  <INPUT_FILE>   
  <OUTPUT_FILE>  

Options:
  -s, --scale <SCALE>  Set the size of each output pixel; creates an NxN rect for each input pixel where N is the scale [default: 1]
  -h, --help           Print help information
  -V, --version        Print version information

Notes

• The input and output files do not need to have png and svg suffixes, respectively. Instead, the file types are assumed
• -s and --scale will set affect the width, height, and viewbox attributes of the root <svg> element, and the x, y, width, and height attributes of the pixel rect elements
• The file size of the SVG equivalent is quite large compared to the original PNG
