Lossless Resizing with SVGs
Is it true that you can resize SVG files to any resolution you want without losing quality?
If so, here's a png file I converted to svg using ImageMagick. Try and see if you can resize to any resolution without loss. https://www.mediafire.com/file/wl1ey...esters.7z/file |

Yes, you can scale losslessly ( even downscale) as a vector format (as a vector only) if the program can handle lossless scaling of vectors. Imagemagick does not. A free vector manipulation tool would be inkscape Lossless scaling of vectors does NOT change the exported file size of a vector (except for a few bytes) - so if your goal was to reduce disk space, you're wasting your time. Notice you increased the filesize converting to a vector in the first place. All lossless scaling basically does is keep the original information, but fill in the data fields about what size to re-render the new file at, so when the viewing application opens the resized vector, it re-renders at the newly specified dimensions. Vectors can be rendered at different dimensions, with far less aliasing and quality issues than "rasterized" images. But if you start with a lossy rasterized image with some compression noise such as your PNG image , it will be "less clean" than scaling a clean vector in the first place |
