Local PNG Skill

Design a static image and export it as a PNG on the machine running Meu. The export uses the installed Chromium and needs no image service or API key.

When to Use

Use for birthday cards, invitations, simple posters, labels and diagrams when the user wants an image file or an image shown in chat.

Prerequisites

The Meu runtime must have its local Chromium installed. If the command reports Chromium missing, report that requirement. Keep the artwork local and do not switch to a cloud image provider.

How to Run

1. Use write_file to save a standalone SVG in the session's project or working folder. Give the root SVG a viewBox with the intended aspect ratio. The canvas is white unless you draw a different background.

2. Use terminal to run the following command. Quote paths containing spaces.

   hermes browser render-png "birthday-card.svg" "birthday-card.png" --width 1200 --height 800

3. On success, copy the returned MEDIA: line by itself into the final reply to display the PNG inline on Desktop and other attachment-capable surfaces. In a plain terminal, give the absolute path. Keep the PNG in the project so the attachment can still open when the user returns to the conversation.

Pitfalls

• Render self-contained SVG artwork. Use local system fonts and embed any required raster assets as data URIs. Linked resources cannot load.
• For an existing HTML design, reproduce the artwork as SVG first. Preserve the HTML source. The exporter accepts SVG input.
• Choose a new output path if a file already exists. The renderer preserves existing files and reports failures without a media attachment.

Verification

Check that the command succeeded and returned the intended absolute PNG path. When visual inspection is available, verify layout and text before delivery.
