<div id="Contents">
<div style="float:left;margin-left:10px;">
<svg></svg>
</div>
<div style="float:left;margin-left:10px;">
<svg></svg>
</div>
</div>

This is my html code. I want to convert it canvas image.

html2canvas($("#Contents"), {
  onrendered: function(canvas) {
   window.open(canvas.toDataURL());

  }
});

I use html2canvas plugin for convert it to image but It does not show svg. I solve converting svg tp canvas but now html2canvas not working

  var $to=$("#MainContents").clone();

            $($to).children(".box").each(function() {
    var svg = ResizeArray[$(this).children(".box-content").children().attr("new-id")-1].svg();
            var Thiscanvas = document.createElement("canvas");
            Thiscanvas.setAttribute("style", "height:" + 100 + "px;width:" + 100+ "px;");

            canvg(Thiscanvas, svg);

            $(this).append(Thiscanvas);

        });
        html2canvas($($to), {
      onrendered: function(canvasq) {
        var w=window.open(canvasq.toDataURL());
        w.print();
      }
    });

I can convert svg to canvas but html2canvas function not working.

You will need to use canvg library for drawing this svg to a temporary canvas and then remove that canvas once you take the screenshot using html2canvas.

Here is the link for canvg : https://github.com/canvg/canvg

Try this:

//find all svg elements in $container
//$container is the jQuery object of the div that you need to convert to image. This div may contain highcharts along with other child divs, etc
var svgElements= $container.find('svg');

//replace all svgs with a temp canvas
svgElements.each(function () {
    var canvas, xml;

    canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
    canvas.className = "screenShotTempCanvas";
    //convert SVG into a XML string
    xml = (new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString(this);

    // Removing the name space as IE throws an error
    xml = xml.replace(/xmlns=\"http:\/\/www\.w3\.org\/2000\/svg\"/, '');

    //draw the SVG onto a canvas
    canvg(canvas, xml);
    $(canvas).insertAfter(this);
    //hide the SVG element
    this.className = "tempHide";
    $(this).hide();
});

//...
//HERE GOES YOUR CODE FOR HTML2CANVAS SCREENSHOT
//...

//After your image is generated revert the temporary changes
$container.find('.screenShotTempCanvas').remove();
$container.find('.tempHide').show().removeClass('tempHide');
