Question.
In order to convert an SVG path to a PNG, do you have to first convert the SVG to an .SVG Document? or can you skip that part?
Using this svg path as an example. How would I convert it to a PNG?
Is this possible to do?
<svg viewBox="0 0 1226 1481">
<path d="M0 1394V87C0 46.3 13.3 19.8 40 7.5 66.7-4.8 98.7.3 136 23l1034 634c37.3 22.7 56 50.3 56 83s-18.7 60.3-56 83L136 1458c-37.3 22.7-69.3 27.8-96 15.5-26.7-12.3-40-38.8-40-79.5z" fill="red"/></svg>
For example:
Can I save it as a PNG, instead of saving it as an svg. document?
What options are you offered when you click “Save Image As”?

I tried doing an image, but it wouldn’t let me do it.
Is there something that will let me download the image in its current state?
<svg width="170" height="112">
<clippath id="circleView">
<circle cx="50%" cy="50%" r="85" transform="translate(90 90)" fill="orange"></circle>
</clippath>
<image x="50%" y="50%" transform="translate(-90 -90)" width="180" height="180" xlink:href="https://i.imgur.com/BO6KOvw.jpg" clip-path="url(#circleView)"></image>
</svg>
or
Coordinates could be used instead.
<svg width="260" height="194">
<defs>
<clippath id="circleView">
<circle cx="130" cy="97" r="85" fill="orange"></circle>
</clippath>
</defs>
<image x="40" y="7" width="180" height="180" xlink:href="https://i.imgur.com/BO6KOvw.jpg" clip-path="url(#circleView)"> </image>
</svg>
Hi there asasass,
to the best of my knowledge, the code
will not work with < image />.

Base64 to png, can this be done?

Yes, of course. 
Did you not try it? 
If you did you would have got these results…
- with
<img src=' '> included - size= 0.38KB.
- with
<img src=' '> omitted - size= 0.37KB.

Why would it, how could it? 
The code that I gave you is made to convert SVG code to PNG code.

I tried it and it doesn’t work.
Sorry mate, but I am not your wet nurse, so I’m out of here.

var fs = require('fs');
var path = require('path');
function base64ToPNG(data) {
data = data.replace(/^data:image\/png;base64,/, '');
fs.writeFile(path.resolve(__dirname, '../tmp/image.png'), data, 'base64', function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
});
}
module.exports = base64ToPNG;
