Convert SVG to EMF

Understanding SVG and EMF file formats

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a widely-used vector image format that supports interactivity and animation. It is based on XML and is used for rendering two-dimensional graphics. SVG files are resolution-independent, meaning they can be scaled to any size without losing quality, making them ideal for web graphics and illustrations.

EMF (Enhanced Metafile) is a graphics file format used in Windows operating systems. It is a vector format that stores graphical images in a device-independent manner, allowing them to be displayed on different devices without losing quality. EMF files are commonly used for printing and embedding graphics in Windows applications.
