Overview
How to Binarize SVG Files Using Java
The invention of color film marked a significant milestone in the realm of photography. However, classical photography is inherently linked to black and white imagery. Despite the extensive technical capabilities of cameras to capture the full spectrum of colors, many individuals opt for monochrome, transforming their pictures into black and white. In such instances, a binarization function comes into play, converting all pixels into binary values: "0" for white and "1" for black. In other scenarios, this conversion isn’t driven by artistic choices but practical ones, like preparing black and white illustrations for printing in books or newspapers. Using the Java graphics library, you can designate a pixel brightness threshold. Pixels with brightness values below this threshold will become black, while those above it will become white. Alternatively, you can employ an adaptive binarization method that considers the pixel values in the surrounding area. This approach results in smoother transitions between color boundaries in the resulting black and white image. In order to Binarize SVG files, we’ll use Aspose.Imaging for Java API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use image manipulation and conversion API for Java platform. You can download its latest version directly from Maven and install it within your Maven-based project by adding the following configurations to the pom.xml.

Steps to Binarize SVG via Java
You need the aspose-imaging-version-jdk16.jar to try the following workflow in your own environment.
- load SVG files with Image.Load method;
- binarize image;
- save binarized image to disc in the supported by Aspose.Imaging format.
System Requirements
Aspose.Imaging for Java is supported on all major operating systems. Just make sure that you have the following prerequisites.
- JDK 1.6 or higher is installed.

About Aspose.Imaging for Java API
Aspose.Imaging API is an image processing solution to create, modify, draw or convert images (photos) within applications. It offers: cross-platform Image processing, including but not limited to conversions between various image formats (including uniform multi-page or multi-frame image processing), modifications such as drawing, working with graphic primitives, transformations (resize, crop, flip&rotate, binarization, grayscale, adjust), advanced image manipulation features (filtering, dithering, masking, deskewing), and memory optimization strategies. It’s a standalone library and does not depend on any software for image operations. One can easily add high-performance image conversion features with native APIs within projects. These are 100% private on-premise APIs and images are processed at your servers.Binarize SVG via Online App

SVG What is SVG File Format
SVG files are Scalable Vector Graphics Files that use XML based text format for describing the appearance of image. The word Scalable refers to the fact that the SVG can be scaled to different sizes without losing any quality. Text based description of such files make them independent of resolution. It is one of the mostly used format for building website and print graphics in order to achieve scalability. The format can only be used for two-dimensional graphics though. SVG files can be viewed/opened in almost all modern browsers including Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari.
