The Inkscape Wiki is no longer used to host information about Extension development.

You can now find related information at GitLab.

This page is kept for historical reasons, e.g. to document specific decisions in Inkscape development.

Inkscape's extensions allow for importing and exporting non-SVG file types and direct editing of the current SVG document. For more information about the Extensions that appear in the Effects menu read Getting Effects Working.

Open *.TXT

  • install perl
  • install SVG perl module

Open *.AI

Save *.AI

  • requires pstoedit with the ps2ai filter
  • uses Inkscapes internal ps output extension

Open *.PS

  • requires skconvert python script from sketch =>> install sketch

Open *.WMF

Save *.PDF (Win32)

   REM BEGIN
   @echo off
   REM edit %GSDIR% to match the ghostscript installation directory
   set GSDIR=%PROGRAMFILES%\gs\gs8.51\
   set GSBINDIR=%GSDIR%bin
   set GSLIBDIR=%GSDIR%lib
   set PATH=%GSBINDIR%;%GSLIBDIR%;%PATH%
   ps2pdf.bat %1 -
   REM END
  • edit pdf_output.inx
   <inkscape-extension>
       <name>PDF Output</name>
       <id>org.inkscape.output.pdf</id>
       <dependency type="extension">org.inkscape.output.ps</dependency>
       <dependency type="executable" location="extensions">ps2pdf.cmd</dependency>
       <output>
           <extension>.pdf</extension>
           <mimetype>image/x-portable-document-format</mimetype>
           <filetypename>Adobe PDF (*.pdf)</filetypename>
           <filetypetooltip>Adobe Portable Document Format</filetypetooltip>
       </output>
