librsvg
brew install librsvg
v2.62.3
LGPL-2.1-or-later
Shared library to render SVG files using Cairo, written in Rust with C bindings.
Why you might care
librsvg converts SVG graphics to raster images or vector output, used as a dependency by many CLI and GUI tools that need SVG support. It's the GNOME standard for SVG rendering and integrates with GObject/GLib ecosystems. Most users need this as a build or runtime dependency rather than directly.
