Solid fills in this SVG
Flat brand colors and a wordmark on a solid background. Each non-background color is one path, so you can recolor it in one change.
The short answer
How do you turn a logo into a vector file?
Vectorize it. Our AI rebuilds every colored area of the logo as vector paths. Instead of redrawing the logo by hand or tuning auto-trace settings, you upload the image, check the result against the original at high zoom, and download an SVG.

Step by step
How to vectorize a logo
The first four steps take a couple of minutes. The last one is only needed if someone asks for another format.
Find the best copy of the logo
Check old emails, your website's files and brand folders for the largest version. A clean PNG beats a screenshot.
Upload it
Drop the file onto the box at the top of this page, browse for it, or paste it from your clipboard.
Check corners, curves and lettering
Zoom in on the details people notice: sharp corners, round letters and the spacing between them.
Download the SVG and set your colors
Select the colored paths and set exact brand values in your editor.
Save other formats from your editor
Need a PDF or EPS for a printer? Open the SVG in Illustrator, Inkscape or Affinity Designer and save it in that format.
Where your logo goes
Which file to use where
One vector master, and the right export for each place it is used.
| Use | File | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Website | SVG | Sharp on every screen, and usually smaller than a PNG |
| Printer or signage | PDF or SVG; EPS if asked | Prints at any size |
| Vinyl and cutting machines | SVG | The cutter follows its paths |
| Social media | PNG exported from the SVG | Platforms expect images, not vectors |
| Email signature | PNG exported from the SVG | Many email apps do not show SVG |
| Brand kit | SVG plus PNG copies | Designers need the vector; everyone else needs an image |
To get a PDF or EPS, open the SVG in a vector editor and save or export it in that format.
A straight answer
Which logos convert cleanly?
Most logos are flat shapes and solid colors, which is exactly what traces best.
Converts cleanly
- Flat logos with solid colors
- Wordmarks and lettering at a readable size
- Badges, emblems and monograms
- Logos made with AI image tools
Check the preview closely
- Logos with photographic elements
- Tiny favicons and app icons
- Thin script lettering in a small image
- Soft shadows, glows and textures
If the logo uses a font you have, retyping the wordmark in your editor gives perfectly clean letters.
Troubleshooting
Fixes for the usual logo snags
Letters look a little soft
Start from a larger image, or retype the wordmark in the original font.
There is a white box behind the logo
Turn on Remove background under Download options before downloading. It removes the outer background while keeping enclosed details of the same color. Transparent PNGs already have no outer background to remove.
Two similar colors merged
Very close shades become one color. Recolor or split the path in your editor.
The printer asked for EPS
Open the SVG in Illustrator, Inkscape or Affinity Designer and save it as EPS or PDF.
Thin lines broke up
Hairlines need enough pixels to trace. Use a larger source image.
FAQ
Logo vectorizing questions
How do I convert a logo to a vector?
Upload the logo image on this page, compare the result with your original, and download the SVG. It takes about a minute and you do not need an account.
Can I change the logo colors after vectorizing it?
Yes. You can change the path fills in any vector editor. Choose Side by side under Download options for non-overlapping shapes grouped by solid color. Stacked files and artwork with gradients can have several paths of the same color, so select all matching shapes when recoloring.
Is a traced logo good enough for print?
For most print work, yes: vector paths print sharply at any size. Check the preview at high zoom first, and ask your printer which format they prefer.
Can I get an EPS or PDF?
Downloads are SVG. Illustrator, Inkscape and Affinity Designer can all save that SVG as EPS or PDF.
Will the text in my logo be editable?
The letters are traced as shapes, so they scale and recolor cleanly but are not live type. To change the wording, retype it using the original font.
Have a logo to vectorize?
Upload it and check the edges against your original before you download.
