A project that converts PNG images to SVG format by mapping each pixel into a colored rectangle.
In this algorithm, the PNG file is loaded, processed and exported as SVG for use in graphics editors.

• CMake 3.20+
• A C++23 compatible compiler (e.g., GCC 13+, Clang 16+, MSVC 2022+)
• Zlib (for image decompression)

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

• The program loads a PNG file (Resources/image.png).
• It reads the image pixel by pixel.
• Each pixel is translated into an SVG with the corresponding color.
• Fully transparent pixels are ignored.
• The generated file output.svg preserves the color pattern of the input image.

Simply run the executable:

./png2svg png=<input.png> svg=<output.svg>
