termtosvg is a Unix terminal recorder written in Python that renders command line sessions as standalone, lightweight SVG animations. It supports custom themes and templates and can render asciinema asciicast recordings.
Use cases
- record terminal sessions as svg animations
- create animated demos of cli tools for readme
- convert asciinema recordings to svg
- embed terminal screencasts in project documentation
- customize terminal recording appearance with svg templates
When to choose
- you want lightweight, dependency-free SVG animations of terminal sessions embeddable in web pages or READMEs
- you need custom terminal window frames, color themes, or animation controls via templates
- you already have asciicast recordings you want rendered as SVG
When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained tool - the project has been read-only since June 2020
- you need video formats like GIF or MP4 instead of SVG
- you need Windows support - it targets Unix-like systems only
