I did not add support for SVG files because browsers tend to be better at this. I would advise you to draw the svg on a canvas and then read the image from that canvas.

Oh, ok. It comes up as one of the supported file formats in supportedFormats.

Yes, that works for SVG files. I was actually mainly interested in the other vector graphics formats such as Adobe Illustrator (AI), which is listed as a supported format too. Those unfortunately aren't supported natively with the browser. :-/

That are listed as a format but that doesn't mean the format is supported. I should probably make this more clear by renaming the property or remove some formats. I think I will need to remove formats that support reading by using an external executable.

Other vector formats are not supported because they require an external executable. And I cannot package a wasm version of Ghostscript due to licensing issue. It might be possible but not something I will invest time on anytime soon.
