FREE LOGO VECTORIZER
Vectorize your logo, properly.
The lost-vector-file problem, solved: drop the best raster copy of your logo below and get a scalable SVG back. This hub also covers the technique – source selection, mode choice, and cleanup – that separates a clean vectorization from a blobby one.

Feed it the largest, cleanest copy you can find. Flat-color logos vectorize near-perfectly; gradients posterize into bands.
Real paths, not wrappers
Output is genuine vector geometry – editable shape by shape, scalable to billboard size – not a pixel image hiding inside an SVG tag.
Technique included
The difference between mediocre and excellent vectorization is mostly workflow: which source file, which mode, which detail level. All documented below.
NDA-grade privacy
Client logos and unreleased brands never leave the browser tab – there is no upload.
STEP BY STEP
How to vectorize a logo
- Hunt the best source Check email attachments, old websites (the press page often has high-res), letterheads, merch photos. Bigger and cleaner in = better out. Even 400px works; 1000px+ shines.
- Pick the mode Single-color marks and lettering → B&W. Multi-color flat logos → Color. Logos with shading → Color at high detail, expect posterization.
- Tune against the preview Compare side-by-side. Merged details → raise detail. Noisy speckles → lower it or use B&W. Iterate; it’s instant.
- Clean up and export Delete stray shapes and any background in the free editor, optimize, and save your new master SVG somewhere safe this time.
When auto-trace is enough – and when it isn’t
For flat-color logos – which is most logos designed in the last decade – automatic tracing recovers a vector that’s functionally identical to the lost original: same shapes, same colors, infinitely scalable. Print shops accept it, cutters cut it, websites ship it.
Auto-trace hits its limits on: complex gradients (posterized into bands), photographic elements (can’t be vectorized meaningfully), very small/blurry sources (the tracer amplifies ambiguity – see blurry logo rescue), and brand-critical precision (an auto-traced curve is 98% right; a brand manual demands 100%). For that last case, use the auto-trace as a base and have a designer true up the curves – an hour of work instead of a from-scratch redraw.
After vectorizing: the asset kit
- Save the master SVG in at least two places (the whole problem started with one lost file)
- Export PNG at 2× and 4× for platforms that reject SVG
- Generate the favicon ICO
- Make a single-color variant for embroidery, engraving, and vinyl cutting
- Produce a vector PDF for print vendors

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does “vectorize a logo” mean?
Converting a pixel-based logo (PNG/JPG) into mathematical paths (SVG) that scale to any size without quality loss – recovering what the original designer’s vector file contained.
Is this really free? Vectorization services charge $20–100.
Auto-tracing is free here, unlimited. Paid services add human redrawing – worth it for damaged sources or pixel-perfect brand requirements, unnecessary for most flat logos.
How accurate is automatic logo vectorization?
For flat-color logos from decent sources: near-identical. For gradients, photos, or blurry sources: an approximation that may need manual cleanup. The preview shows you exactly where yours lands before you commit.
Can I vectorize a logo from a business card photo?
Yes – photograph it straight-on in bright light, crop to the logo, and trace. Phone-photo sources benefit from B&W mode and the techniques in the blurry logo guide.
