SVG Batch Resizer for xTool Creative Space

This Python script batch resizes all SVG files in the folder where the script is located. It allows you to specify a desired width and/or height in inches, preserving the aspect ratio if one dimension is left blank. The script is specifically designed for compatibility with xTool Creative Space, using a 72 DPI resolution.

Features

• Batch processes all SVG files in the same folder as the script.
• Allows you to specify width, height, or both in inches.
• Automatically preserves the aspect ratio if only one dimension is provided.
• Saves resized SVG files with _resized appended to their filenames.
• Uses 72 DPI for perfect size compatibility with xTool Creative Space.

Requirements

• Python 3.x installed on your system.

Installation

1. Clone or download this repository.
2. Place the script (resize_svgs_xtool.py) in the folder containing the SVG files you want to resize.

Usage

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.

2. Navigate to the folder containing the script and your SVG files.

3. Run the script with the following command:

   python resize_svgs_xtool.py

4. Follow the prompts:

   • Enter the desired width in inches (leave blank to preserve aspect ratio).
   • Enter the desired height in inches (leave blank to preserve aspect ratio).

5. The script will resize all SVG files in the folder and save the resized versions with _resized appended to their filenames.

Example Input

• Enter 1.5 for width and leave height blank:
  • Resizes the width to 1.5 inches and adjusts the height to maintain the aspect ratio.
• Enter both width (2.0) and height (1.0):
  • Resizes the SVG to 2 inches wide and 1 inch tall, ignoring the original aspect ratio.

Output

• Resized SVG files are saved in the same folder with filenames like:

  original_filename_resized.svg
  

Notes

• The script calculates dimensions based on 72 DPI, which is required for proper size rendering in xTool Creative Space.
• If no valid dimensions are specified, the file will be skipped.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure Python 3.x is installed on your system.
• If you encounter a ValueError, ensure you enter valid numeric values for width and height.
