Apple Shortcuts are extremely powerful particularly because
- of their accessibility: you can invoke them with right click on any file from inside Finder.
- extensibility: you are not limited to what Apple lets you to do, you can run shell scripts with shortcuts.
I have been testing them at their limit for every big and small use case I come across in my daily workflow. And recently, I needed to put my startup’s logo to my personal website (instanceofma.com) which only accepts image in JPG and PNG format, not SVG (mmm.page, a feature request?). The quickest way was to download SVG logo from the startup’s website (grandeur.dev) and convert it to PNG.
Previously, I used to use an online SVG to PNG converter to do that, but it was becoming a hassle to first upload the SVG and then downloading the PNG. So I started looking for a way to do it natively on my Mac, preferably without installing a full third-party app.
