BMP is a image format: it stores uncompressed pixel data in a simple row-by-row grid, resulting in large file sizes but zero quality loss. SVG is a vector format that stores shapes, paths, and text as XML vector coordinates that scale to any resolution without quality loss. This traces the raster pixels into vector paths, making the result scalable without quality loss. Metadata such as creation date and embedded colour profiles is preserved where the target format supports it. Converting between these two formats is common when the source application does not support SVG natively or when the target platform only accepts SVG. 1converter processes this conversion server-side using open-source tools.
