No it just draws all the layers at the density specified (72 by default)
to generate one image.  It will use the RSVG library if compiled with
that option, otherwise it will use its SVG to MVG converter to draw the
SVG as best it can.

Any multi-image raster file format, including MIFF  XCF TIFF  MNG etc...
GIF can also be used but its limitations do not make it a good
recomendation.

WARNING WARNING WARNING...

ImageMagick is a Raster Image processor.  Sure it can read and write
vector graphic image formats but only as a conversion for raster images.
