Looks like Windows, but it has the Ghostscript interpreter anyway.
And it's not saying what it's doing:

now calling the interpreter via: C:\Program
Files\gs\gs9.20\bin\gsdll64.dll -dDELAYBIND -dWRITESYSTEMDICT
-dESTACKPRINT -dNODISPLAY -dNOEPS
C:/Users/Rob/AppData/Local/Temp/psin2
GPL Ghostscript 9.20 (2016-09-26)
Copyright (C) 2016 Artifex Software, Inc.  All rights reserved.
This software comes with NO WARRANTY: see the file PUBLIC for details.
Now checking the temporary output
now reading BoundingBoxes from file C:/Users/Rob/AppData/Local/Temp/psout2
 got 1 page(s)
x: 999999 y: 999999 x: 0 y: 0
now postprocessing the interpreter output
postprocessing the interpreter output finished

It doesn't say what it did (no image size or anything).  Ghostscript
was originally unix I think, it's used by GhostView (aka gv).  Linux
software is generally better quality than Windows shareware.  I wonder
what IrfanView would do with it.  Lots of things can make images
smaller, including IrfanView.

So you start with raster but you want vector?  For the best quality do
it by hand.  Open it in GIMP and trace paths on it, export those to
vector.  It will take time and practice and probably studying.  But
you can do it better than some machine.  There are help files.

No, I won't  call it "climate change", do you have a "reality problem"? - AB1JX
