I've not yet tried it, but check out this: https://github.com/sampumon/SVG.toDataURL

Which apparently originates from this paper: http://svgopen.org/2010/papers/62-From_SVG_to_Canvas_and_Bac...

Thanks! Will look into it.

I'm sure you looked at the same articles, and found it surprising there is no easy way apparently. but a brute force way will be to send the final SVG / Canvas to the server side and render it there?

EDIT: this seems like a nice approach:

I've been having a lot of success with phantom.js for converting browser rendered svg to various formats. I imagine there are a ton of svg>image options but phantom is nice in that its nearly WYSIWYG output vs chrome.

another client side option is canvg http://code.google.com/p/canvg/ which is more wrapping around a dataURL.
