inkscapesvg
I have a SVG file that contains at least one embedded JPG/PNG image inside. I want to extract the JPG/PNG images from that SVG file and save them on disk.
I'm adding the inkscape tag as it is the program I use to edit SVG files, but I also accept solutions using other tools.
Inkscape does in fact have a resample option (it may be part of ImageMagick). These options are available from the Extensions -> Raster menu.
To resample items in your image:
Extensions -> Images -> Embed Images...Extensions -> Raster -> Resample
Width and Height values to the lowest acceptable valuesApply and CloseThis method will work well during the authoring process. I am still working on a way to automate this and will update this post if I find a good method.
Inkscape has a built-in XML editor:

My own solution (or... workaround):
XML Editor(Shift+Ctrl+X)xlink:hrefattribute, which will contain the image as data: URIdata:URIdata:URI into a browser, and save it from there.Alternatively, I can open the SVG file in any text editor, locate the
data:URI and copy it from there.Although this solution works, it's kinda cumbersome and I'd love to learn a better one.
