I was wondering about this for a long time. Finally, I will ask directly.
To make story short, I own a paper cutting machine and a software program that helps me cut out literally any images online.
Converting a coloring page off the Internet into a file called SVG file, (which my cutting software will only recognize). And sharing the SVG on a blog, is this a violation of copyright?
Like, Snoopy for example... The picture of Snoopy is on the blog, but the download is a SVG file which does not look like snoopy (all unassembled pieces of shapes, that you can piece back together with paper and glue)

Converting the images is a violation of copyright. While your software itself isn't illegal (selling copying machines isn't), the use you propose is.

I am not questioning the software, just the images/SVGs on a blog. Like on this blog:

I don't want to get anyone in trouble, I tried to read more about copyrights and isn't exactly clear.
Thanks!

The Strawberry Shortcake images appear to be clear violations of Hasbro's (or whoever really owns it) copyrights and trademarks.
