SVG icons from PNG - svg

I need to convert PNG icons into SVG format. What size should the initial PNGs be? Do I need to make the icons smaller (they will be 30 x 30 px on the site) before I save them as SVGs?

How to convert PNG/JPEG images to svg with ImageMagick?

It seems that with potrace installed, I can just run magick convert x.png x.svg or magick convert x.jpg x.svg.However this just returns a deformed image in black and white, and I need the svg image to be in full color. Additionally, I really need the file format to be svg because svg images are small and portable, and I don't have a lot of disk space on my server.Does anyone know how to convert png/jpeg to svg while retaining color?

resizing chrome theme image to fit screen size

is there a way to make the background image of chrome theme resize with the height of the window? If so, can I also make the image resize with the height until it hist a certain ratio, and then resize with the width of the window?
It's not possible. Chromium source code doesn't have any stretching/sizing modes as you can see: theme_properties.h, theme_properties.cc and theme_service.cc
I've tried specifying an SVG image with width="100%" height="100%" for the background but it wasn't rendered, looks like only raster images can be used (WEBP, JPG, PNG, etc).
I tried use jpeg format, it resized itself, without anything added to manifest.json

How are 16x16 PNG icons rendered from original SVG files?

When I open a Tango SVG icon file and export it (using Inkscape) to a 16x16 png, I get a rather blurry image. Instead, the "official" 16x16 render is extremely sharp. How did they do it? Did they pixel-paint the icons at small resolutions?
Compare and for an example.
Gimp has a better scaling algorithm than Inkscape.
I Export from inkscape to 256x256 pixels and then scale to 16x16 in Gimp.
