Understandably.

What I mean is, for example, there are a lot of icons made up of a "folder"
image (which is the same throughout) with another image on top of it, such
as a "package" image, a "movie" image, a "sound" image, etc. I would like
to have images of just those most basic elements. As far as I know that is
simply not possible with PNG, because the PNG files we can download have all
the elements combined and blended already. Is it possible to extract the
separate elements from an SVG file, so that they can be worked on separately
and then later recombined? I know very little about the SVG format.
