    outputConfig                   List of extension or output file paths

    --min-dimensions=<dimensions>  Minimum size in pixels (<width>x<height>)

    --title=<title>                Add explicit <title> to exported image

    $ bpmn-to-image diagram.bpmn:diagram.png,diagram.svg,/tmp/diagram.pdf

    # export with minimum size of 500x300 pixels
    $ bpmn-to-image --min-dimensions=500x300 diagram.bpmn:png
```


## Embedding

You may embed [bpmn-to-image](https://github.com/bpmn-io/bpmn-to-image) and use it as parts of your application:

```javascript
const {
  convertAll
} = require('bpmn-to-image');

await convertAll([
  {
    input: 'diagram.bpmn',
    outputs: [
      'diagram.pdf',
      'diagram.png'
      'diagram.svg'
    ]
  }
]);
```

This renders the BPMN diagram using [bpmn-js](https://github.com/bpmn-io/bpmn-js) and exports it to the specified output files using [Puppeteer](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer).
