Image Processing Library in Java to Convert SVG, JPG or PNG Files to AI (Adobe Illustrator)

[Ashik Uzzaman]

I want to develop a microservice in Java that can take an image file as input and generate a API file in output, one at a time, or in bulk. Ideally I want to do the reverse as well i.e. take a AI (Adobe Illustrator) file and convert it to SVG, JPG or PNG. Is there any framework, either open source or commercial, to support this? I would also like to know if its possible from JavaScript as well, if I want to replicate the capacity not only from my backend but also develooping a JavaScript based front end.

Illustrator is a vector app (and file format), so it's pretty much impossible to convert a raster format image to the AI format. The other way around would be feasible, although I am unaware of a free library that can do this. The commercial Aspose library claims to support that, though. I take it you have checked whether Adobe offers something?

You wouldn't need to do it in JavaScript as well (which is even less likely to exist anyway), since JavaScript could also access the service running on the backend.

Thank you Tim. This is helpful. I will update here once I play around a bit with it.
