Whether it matters depends on the use case of course.<p>If the bitmap is not vectorized it can&#x27;t be styled with CSS. It also means that the resulting SVG contains arbitrary data from the source or edited as text.<p>Anyway, years ago when I was dealing with WMF in a vector context, not SVG, embedded bitmaps made the imported objects mostly worthless. Years before that, I would use Corel Draw to vectorize bitmaps and it worked remarkably well for ordinary cases.
