BMP to SVG
BMP (bitmap) files usually store uncompressed RGB data—great fidelity, heavy files. Packaging BMP pixels into SVG rarely saves space, but it unifies assets under one MIME type for tools that insist on SVG input.
BMP packaging vs tracing
Embedding a BMP-derived PNG inside SVG can balloon file size; consider compressing the source elsewhere first if bandwidth matters.
Flat UI mockups exported as BMP are rare today, yet industrial software still emits them—tracing those simple blocks often yields compact path data.
Because BMP has no alpha in many variants, transparency is not preserved unless the encoder added a mask; expect solid backgrounds in traced output.
