How to vectorise a logo

Rebuild any raster logo as a clean, scalable SVG — free.

Raster logos fall apart at print size. This guide shows how to vectorise a logo into a sharp SVG using VectorDrop, so you have one master file for web, print, signage, and merch.

What you need

  • A raster logo (PNG, JPG, or WebP) — ideally high resolution
  • A browser
  • Optional: Figma or Illustrator to touch up the exported SVG

Steps

  1. 01
    Get the cleanest source you can

    A 1024 px or larger PNG is ideal. Avoid low-resolution screenshots if possible.

  2. 02
    Open VectorDrop's playground

    Go to vectordrop.co.in — no signup required for the playground.

  3. 03
    Upload the logo

    Drop the raster file onto the upload area. VectorDrop reads it immediately.

  4. 04
    Review the auto-trace

    Check the live preview. Zoom in to verify curves and edges look sharp.

  5. 05
    Tune parameters

    Reduce colours for flatter output. Adjust smoothing until curves feel right.

  6. 06
    Export the SVG

    Download the final SVG. Store it as your new master logo file.

  7. 07
    Touch up in a vector editor (optional)

    Open the SVG in Figma or Illustrator and fine-tune paths, colours, or spacing.

Tips

  • Use a transparent-background PNG as the source when possible
  • For two-colour logos, flatten to exactly two fills before tracing
  • Replace fills with currentColor if you plan to use the SVG in the browser and want CSS control
  • Save both a 'clean' SVG master and a web-optimised variant

Frequently asked questions

Is VectorDrop's logo vectorisation good enough for print?

Yes. The exported SVG scales to any print size without loss.

Can I vectorise a logo I only have as a screenshot?

You can, but quality depends on screenshot resolution. For best results, get a larger source from the brand owner.

Do I need Adobe Illustrator to use the SVG?

No. Free editors like Figma and Inkscape open SVG natively.
