Yes to @bobdobqb This is definitely my preferred way of going about this.
It will give you the cleanest results.
Vectorization which is what Inkscape uses in its different forms of “bitmap to trace” and it’s also what some browser base converters use ( example convertio.co ) but these will never be 100% accurate it will only be a representation of the original image and any missing or pixelated data will be interpolated or extrapolated from the existing data.
I posted a topic last year discussing the deformation of vectorization, I’ll see if I can find it.
