LinkedIn is going to be one of my direct integrations, if it's possible, so that I can write an article once and publish it on my own platform and do external distribution. Who has a non-svg logo available in 2026? I don't so I need to fix it. Better and smarter ways exist, but we're Linux-neckbeards It would be easy to use some ad-ridden page to convert my svg-logo to a png for LinkedIn's consumption, but no, we're not doing that. We're doing it the only way we should, which is via cli. 1st we encountered an esoteric err: ffmpeg -i logo.svg -width 1920 logo.png ffmpeg version 8.1 Copyright (c) 2000-2026 the FFmpeg developers built with Apple clang version 17.0.0 (clang-1700.6.4.2) configuration: --prefix=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/ffmpeg/8.1_1 --enable-shared --enable-pthreads --enable-version3 --cc=clang --host-cflags= --host-ldflags= --enable-ffplay --enable-gpl --enable-libsvtav1 --enable-libopus --enable-libx264 --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libdav1d --enable-libvmaf --enable-libvpx --enable-libx265 --enable-openssl --enable-videotoolbox --enable-audiotoolbox --enable-neon libavutil 60. 26.100 / 60. 26.100 libavcodec 62. 28.100 / 62. 28.100 libavformat 62. 12.100 / 62. 12.100 libavdevice 62. 3.100 / 62. 3.100 libavfilter 11. 14.100 / 11. 14.100 libswscale 9. 5.100 / 9. 5.100 libswresample 6. 3.100 / 6. 3.100 [in#0/svg_pipe @ 0x825014000] Could not find codec parameters for stream 0 (Video: svg, none): unspecified size Consider increasing the value for the 'analyzeduration' (0) and 'probesize' (5000000) options Input #0, svg_pipe, from 'logo.svg': Duration: N/A, bitrate: N/A Stream #0:0: Video: svg, none, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 25 tbn [vist#0:0/svg @ 0x824c1c180] Decoding requested, but no decoder found for: svg Error opening output file logo.png.
