It looks like that rendering of svg with images tags and preserveAspectRaio attribute behaves very different if the image is a png or svg.

I created a svg starting from the example here: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/coords.html#PreserveAspectRatioAttribute

i did this SVG: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <svg width="450px" height="300px" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" >
  <desc>Example PreserveAspectRatio - illustrates preserveAspectRatio attribute</desc>
  <rect x="1" y="1" width="448" height="298"
        fill="none" stroke="blue"/>

It renders bad, images are small and do not respect the preserverAspectRatio attribute.

If i swap in the attribute xlink:href the final .svg with a .png ( other version of same image ) everything works as expected , as the reference image in the link i posted. Every browser render same way, inkscape render it better, respecting the attribute.

Someone knows why?

The only difference I see between Firefox and Google Chrome is that the images are centered in their view boxes in GC and left aligned in Firefox.

You may have zoomed the page(s) by accident. Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

Can you attach a screenshot?

  • Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
  • Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB
