const fs = require('fs');
const { createCanvas, loadImage } = require('canvas');

async function nodeCanvasTest() {
  console.log('starting...');
  const canvas = createCanvas(400, 200);
  const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

  image = await loadImage('./input.svg');

  ctx.drawImage(image, 0, 0);
  var stream = canvas.createPNGStream();
  stream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('output.png'));
  console.log('completed');
}

nodeCanvasTest();

Here is svg file:
