i've used the drawing canvas part in common code (desktop + web). havent saved to file though

Thanks, but I have switched to another solution now which also turns out to be 2x faster than using ImageComposeScene. (The link to x.com seems to be broken.)

fixed. what did u end up using?

[Michael Paus]

The original idea was to use that to render a SVG painter to an image and store that as a PNG or other kind of image. This works but is not directly cross platform. I ended up extracting all the relevant parts from

org.jetbrains.compose.resources.SvgPainter

into a one shot SVG image renderer and it turned out that after removing all the overhead from the previous solution, the rendering is almost exactly 2x faster than that for a complex SVG rendered to a 2000x2000 pixel image. (For Android I use a special solution based on com.caverock:androidsvg-aar)
