Imagemagick on linux to convert EMF to PNG

Question

I am trying to convert an image in EMF format to PNG using Imagemagick on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga), but I am running into the following error:

convert: no decode delegate for this image format `thumbnail.emf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/550. convert: no images defined `1.png' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3068.

How might I fix this?

Answer 1

Install libreoffice and run this command on the folder where your emf files are located:

libreoffice --headless --convert-to png *.emf

Answer 2

Another way is to use inkscape:

inkscape -o file.png source.emf

See inkscape --help for more export options (area to export, dpi, image resolution, background color etc).
