That one is a bit difficult as PNG is a raster format - has pixels, while SVG is a vector format - has lines and shapes drawn with mathematical formulas. SVG can be scaled to any resolution and look the same. SVG to PNG is easy, while PNG to SVG is very difficult.

Most online converters will only work with black and white images where you can use the change from black to white to detect the outlines. I have seen some new AI models that can trace over the pixel image too.
