How to Crop SVG Image Files Using C#
To instantly captivate a user visiting your web page, position attention-grabbing elements at the center of the images. Sometimes, it’s more effective to eliminate entirely any unnecessary elements that distract from the primary theme of the photo. To accomplish this, utilize the image cropping function provided by C# library. You can achieve this by specifying the coordinates of a rectangular area encompassing the focal point or by indicating shifts from the edges of the photo to select the essential portion of the image. In this way, through cropping the image, we eliminate irrelevant elements and emphasize the main subject. In order to crop SVG files, we’ll use Aspose.Imaging for .NET API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use image manipulation and conversion API for C# platform. Open NuGet package manager, search for Aspose.Imaging and install. You may also use the following command from the Package Manager Console.

About Aspose.Imaging for .NET 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.Crop SVG images 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.
