The tool traces the pixel outlines of the image and converts them into vector paths. This process is called vectorisation or tracing.

Yes. Open the SVG in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator to edit individual paths and shapes.
Yes. Adobe Illustrator can open and edit SVG files. You can refine the vector paths after conversion.

Yes. SVG supports CSS and JavaScript animations. You can add animations to the paths in the SVG file.
Yes. SVG is ideal for logos because it prints at any size without pixelation.
