How to add svg file extension on a beamer latex?

I am doing a beamer latex presentation and I would like to know how is it possible to add directly a svg graphic on it. I know that it is possible to convert the svg file to pdf format and then include it to beamer, but I want to include the svg file directly (without convert it to pdf format).

The code must looks like:

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Frame SVG example}
  \begin{figure}
    \includegraphics[\textwidth]{graphic.svg}
  \end{figure}
\end{frame}

Thanks in advance!

You can use the SVG package to achieve that. It will convert your .svg on the fly using Inkscape (which needs to be installed on your computer). It will re-export your figures if the .svg file is changed.

A minimal example could look like this:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{svg}
\setsvg{inkscape = "C:/Program Files/Inkscape/inkscape.exe" -z -D}

\begin{document}
  \begin{frame}
    \includesvg[width=0.7\textwidth]{path/to/mysvgimage}
  \end{frame}
\end{document}

There are some things to consider, such as text formatting and alignment. Have a look at the documentation of the SVG package.

You also need to make sure that your allow latex to call Inkscape with

pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode --shell-escape %.tex

or

latex -interaction=nonstopmode --shell-escape %.tex
