So in other words, your advice is to take a PNG, display it in a figure, save a screenshot of the figure as a low-quality JPG and then use an online converter to convert the JPG screenshot to an SVG.

I don't think it really matters that much here, but unnecessary screenshots and JPGs should have no place in an image processing pipeline. Just use imwrite() to directly save the result as a PNG. It's faster, non-destructive, and the filesize is smaller.

I will add though that convertio's SVG converter does actually vectorize the content. I half-expected it to just embed the raster data in an SVG. It expects a roughly binarized input, so that works fine here.
