What changes when you convert BMP to SVG
- The SVG file wraps your picture at its original pixel size. It opens in vector and design tools, but the image is not traced into editable paths, so it does not become infinitely scalable.
- BMP has no transparency, so the picture looks the same; the extra transparency support in SVG simply stays unused.
