vector art & cropping in Photos

I imported a vector file (.ai) into photos. It retains the .ai suffix but it appears to have been converted to a raster format when placed in a Book in Photos. What format does it get converted to (PNG, JPEG, etc.)?

And why does Photos automatically crop the image? The Options allow zooming in to make the image larger, but it doesn't allow zooming out so the entire image is visible within the frame on the book page.

Probably JPEG - I've not done that so am not positive - in the book in most themes you can right click on the placed image and select fit to frame in the case that you placed some other ratio photo in a 4:3 photo frame

Thanks Larry. I didn't see the Fit to Frame command before. That did the trick on the cropping. I'd still like confirmation on the file format that a vector file gets converted to.
