SVG

For its part, the SVG format, which comes from Scalable Vector Graphics, is a vector-type image format, very useful for use, especially in web services, due to its flexibility and ability to offer quality graphics.

The core that establishes the behavior of an SVG file comes from a text file with XML code.

What happens when we convert JPG to SVG?

When converting still images as JPG, you will convert the shapes and objects in the image to vector graphics, but in black and white, however these would be scalable without loss of quality.
