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
- 01Get the cleanest source you can
A 1024 px or larger PNG is ideal. Avoid low-resolution screenshots if possible.
- 02Open VectorDrop's playground
Go to vectordrop.co.in — no signup required for the playground.
- 03Upload the logo
Drop the raster file onto the upload area. VectorDrop reads it immediately.
- 04Review the auto-trace
Check the live preview. Zoom in to verify curves and edges look sharp.
- 05Tune parameters
Reduce colours for flatter output. Adjust smoothing until curves feel right.
- 06Export the SVG
Download the final SVG. Store it as your new master logo file.
- 07Touch 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
Yes. The exported SVG scales to any print size without loss.
You can, but quality depends on screenshot resolution. For best results, get a larger source from the brand owner.
No. Free editors like Figma and Inkscape open SVG natively.
