How to vectorize a logo and get a clean SVG
Need your logo as an SVG for a website, a printer or a sign maker, but only have a PNG or JPG? Here is how to get a clean vector result and avoid the usual problems.
Open the tool: PNG to SVG Converter
1. Start with the best image you have
Use the largest version of the logo, ideally 500 px wide or more, on a plain background. Crop away everything that is not the logo. A screenshot from a website is usually better than a photo of a printed card.
2. Count the colours
Look at the logo and count its real colours, including the background. Set the colour option to that number or the next one up. Black-and-white mode with the darkness threshold is best for signatures, stamps and line drawings.
3. Tune detail and smoothing
Raise Detail if small letters or thin lines are lost; lower it if edges look wobbly. Keep Smooth curves on for round shapes and type. Turn on Remove small specks to clear JPG noise, and Remove background if you need a transparent logo.
4. Check and fix
Zoom in on the SVG preview. If two similar colours merged, add a colour; if there are extra shades along edges, remove one. For a perfect result, open the SVG in Inkscape, Illustrator or Figma to adjust a curve or swap in your exact brand colours.
5. Export everything you need
Keep the SVG as your master file. Use the SVG to PNG tool to make PNGs at 2× or 4× for social media and documents, and the favicon generator for your website icons.
- Largest source image, cropped tight.
- As few colours as the design has.
- Detail high enough for the smallest text.
- Transparent background for logos.
- Save PNG copies and favicons from the SVG.
