I shelled out $10 for BoxySVG a couple of years ago on Mac and it's been a solid little tool. https://boxy-svg.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago
There is also Boxy SVG (https://boxy-svg.com) which combines both designer and developer oriented functionality and uses SVG as its native file format. Unlike Illustrator/Sketch/Inkscape it can also create and manipulate SVG animation elements (https://boxy-svg.com/blog/21) - a very powerful feature which is now supported by all major browsers. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
What I did for my instance (aipub.social) was I took the original logo file from github (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/tree/main/app/javascript/images) which is "logo-symbol-wordmark.svg" and pasted the SVG url into this online SVG editor, https://boxy-svg.com/ that allowed me to edit the existing one to my liking, in my case I just wanted to change "Mastodon" to "AIpub".

As the author mentions PNG to SVG conversion, there is Potrace [1]. I think you need to convert to BMP before. It's a pretty nice tool. I have used it a couple of times. [1] https://potrace.sourceforge.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
The answer to your question is Potrace. There's probably a wrapper API available for whatever language you're using (presumably Python), or you can simply run it as a command line tool. Potrace is used behind the scenes for image tracing in Inkscape, the most popular open source vector design app, and I've also seen it used in a plugin someone built for Stable Diffusion/A1111 that does exactly what you're trying...
