More information.

• Open an SVG file in the Inkscape GUI:

inkscape {filename.svg}

• Export an SVG file into a bitmap with the default format (PNG) and the default resolution (96 DPI):

inkscape {filename.svg} -o {filename.png}

• Export an SVG file into a bitmap of 600x400 pixels (aspect ratio distortion may occur):

inkscape {filename.svg} -o {filename.png} -w {600} -h {400}

• Export the drawing (bounding box of all objects) of an SVG file into a bitmap:

inkscape {filename.svg} -o {filename.png} -D

• Export a single object, given its ID, into a bitmap:

inkscape {filename.svg} -i {id} -o {object.png}

• Export an SVG document to PDF, converting all texts to paths:

inkscape {filename.svg} -o {filename.pdf} --export-text-to-path

• Duplicate the object with id="path123", rotate the duplicate 90 degrees, save the file, and quit Inkscape:

inkscape {filename.svg} --select=path123 --verb="{EditDuplicate;ObjectRotate90;FileSave;FileQuit}"
