| Description | May be the simplest file format, BMP was developed jointly by Microsoft and IBM. That is why it is widespread on Windows platform. This extension is characterized a raster graphic format which is recognized by many programs today. In comparison with other bitmap formats, JPEG and GIF, BMP keeps color data for each pixel in the image and doesn't compress images to decrease a file size. That is what makes it perfect file format for printable images. |

| Description | SVG is a vector type of graphics, such files provide excellent data compression within the small file size. It provides scaling up to any size without loss in quality, supports various filters and interactivity. This format is aimed at storing either vector or vector/raster graphic data in XML code, supporting animated graphics. SVG files are actually text image description that can be edited and read in text editors. They are less in size than JPEG or GIF copies of the same quality. |

BMP is a fixed pixel grid — zoom in and edges turn into stairsteps. Converting BMP to SVG either wraps the bitmap inside an SVG container (so any browser displays it) or auto-traces line art into scalable vector shapes. Drop your .bmp file above.
BMP (Windows Bitmap) is Microsoft's uncompressed raster format from 1990. It stores raw pixel data at a fixed resolution, supports 1–32-bit colour depth, and remains the native capture format for many legacy Windows tools and old scanners.
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is the W3C-standardised XML vector format for the web. SVG describes shapes mathematically — lines, curves, fills — and scales to any size without quality loss. Every modern browser, design tool, and document editor renders SVG natively.
