SVG editor
This is in my toolkit for whenever I need to do anything with SVG files. For just converting them, I use GIMP.
It is meant for image creation and not editing. I've used this for several projects, like my Chinese flash cards.

Chocolatey: gimp
https://www.gimp.org/
An incredibly capable (and therefore very convoluted) image editor.
I use this:
.svg files to .jpg or .png.png files which have transparency, since mspaint.exe can't do that.Often called "The Gimp".

Chocolatey: Ghostscript
https://ghostscript.com/
A suite of software for dealing with PDFs.
It's a requirement for other software, and I only care about actually using it for repairing PDFs.

https://github.com/tjko/jpegoptim
Optimizes JPEG images, performing magic to reduce size, or optionally stripping metadata for even further savings, or performing lossy re-compression for potentially extraordinary size reduction.
I like this idea, and it's actually freed up a significant amount of space. Being able to take a 5MB file and knock it down to 1MB while maintaining excellent visual quality.. is astonishing
