No need to get heated. A post like this can look a bit spammy Trying to get an example image, that the software produces. They have a strange sense of 'free' pay-what-you-want $5 -$10...for their free bundles.
Skimming through what must be an over long tedious video, I got these examples: https://imgur.com/XW95pDa.jpg Gimp can certainly do that. As well as changing the mode to greyscale, desaturating a colour image gives some variation. The program options seem to be limited to scaling, contrast and brightness, sharpen, some effects, which I did not see, inverting the image. In Gimp something like this: https://i.imgur.com/gTHg0cs.jpg There are third-party plugins that might be useful for extra effects.
Image format: bmp / png / jpg - no problem for Gimp exporting those. SVG will be a problem. Gimp is a raster editor, for svg Inkscape is the application to use.
