Why Your Logo Needs to Be SVG

A logo is used across many contexts — business cards, websites, billboards, merchandise, presentations. Each use case requires a different size. A pixel-based PNG logo will look sharp at 200px but blurry on a 3m × 2m banner. SVG stays perfectly crisp at any size.

Best Types of Logos to Vectorize

  • Great candidates: Simple icon logos, text-based wordmarks, flat-design logos with 2-5 colors
  • Harder to vectorize well: Logos with gradients, drop shadows, or complex textures
  • Not suitable: Logos that include photographs or realistic illustrations

Improving Your Source PNG Before Converting

  1. Use the highest resolution version you have
  2. If possible, remove the background first (make it transparent)
  3. Increase contrast slightly — more contrast = cleaner vectors
  4. Simplify — if the logo has fine details, these become noise in vectorization
