Vectorize Your LogoWithout Losing The Edges

Turn a logo into a clean SVG — flat colour and lettering are exactly what tracing handles best, and sub-pixel small-text tracing keeps fine lettering sharp even from a small or low-resolution source.

One mark, every surface

Sized for the sign and the favicon.

A logo has to hold up at 16 pixels and on the side of a van. That is the job a vector does and a raster cannot.

You get

Four formats

  • SVG
  • PDF
  • EPS
  • DXF

SVG for web, PDF and EPS for print and signage, DXF for cutting and CNC.

The honest limit

Your wordmark comes back as shapes

Tracing reads pixels, not fonts. Lettering returns as letter-shaped paths — they scale and recolour perfectly and keep the exact letterforms, but you cannot retype them. If the wording has to change, set live text again in your design tool.

Vectorizing a logo, step by step

Rescue A Logo From A Small Or Blurry File.

Most businesses only have their logo as a small PNG or JPG. Here is how to get a clean, scalable version from it.

  1. Hunt Down The Best Copy

    Look beyond the email signature. Check the website header at full size, social media profile uploads, old print PDFs and the files the original designer sent. Pick the largest, sharpest one.

  2. Check Whether It Is Already Vector

    If you found a PDF, EPS or AI file, open it in Illustrator, Inkscape or Affinity first. If the logo selects as separate shapes, you already have a vector and there is nothing to trace.

  3. Trace In Flat Art Mode

    Auto chooses Flat Art for logos. It reads how much ink covers each pixel, so edges come back as smooth curves instead of a pixel staircase, and small lettering keeps its open counters.

  4. Match Your Brand Colours

    Type the exact number of brand colours into Colors, and use Tidy Colours to merge any leftover edge shades. A two-colour logo should come back as exactly two colours.

  5. Zoom In Before You Download

    Check the lettering and the tightest corners at high zoom, and turn on Show Nodes to see how clean the curves are. Then download SVG for the web, PDF or EPS for print and signage, or DXF for cutting.

One File For Every Size

A vector logo is the same file on a favicon, a business card and the side of a van. Print shops and sign makers ask for PDF, EPS or SVG for exactly this reason: they need to scale it without losing edges.

Your Lettering Becomes Shapes

Tracing reads pixels, not fonts, so the text in your logo comes back as letter-shaped paths. They scale and recolour perfectly, but you cannot retype them. If the wording changes, reset it in live type in a design app.

How Small Is Too Small

A trace recovers the shapes that are in the file. A logo only a few dozen pixels tall has already lost its fine details, so thin strokes and small text may need tidying by hand. Always start from the largest copy you can find.

It fits real curves and detects true corners, so it produces fewer nodes and cleaner shapes. You get an SVG you can edit, not a mesh of slivers to untangle.
