Remarks

This converter rasterizes SVG files to bitmap images at a fixed DPI (96 DPI by default), making them suitable for static icons and UI elements. The resulting bitmap is cached after the initial conversion.

The SVG source file can be:

• From the web (HTTP/HTTPS URLs)
• From the local computer (relative or absolute paths)
• From embedded resources (pack:// URIs)
• Compressed SVG files (.svgz)

XAML Usage:

<Window.Resources>
    <converters:SvgToBitmapValueConverter x:Key="SvgToBitmapConverter" />
</Window.Resources>
<Image Source="{Binding SvgPath, Converter={StaticResource SvgToBitmapConverter}}" />
