Recreate a scalable SVG of your logo from the PNG or JPG you still have, for print, signage, embroidery or your website. Nothing is uploaded, and there’s no account, watermark or limit.
Drop the largest copy of your logo you can find, as PNG, JPG or WebP. A version with a transparent background works best.
Keep the Logo preset. For a one-color logo or a stamp, switch the output to Black & white instead.
Click Convert, then Preview and zoom in on the corners and the lettering. If corners are rounded, lower the corner threshold; if small dots appear, raise the speckle filter, then click Convert again.
Download the SVG, or use Copy SVG code to paste it straight into your website's HTML.
Printers, sign makers, embroiderers and vinyl cutters regularly ask for a logo as a vector file: SVG, AI, EPS or PDF. They need outlines, not pixels, because they scale the logo to a business card, a shop window or a van, or because their machines follow paths with a blade, laser or needle.
Many small businesses only have the logo as a PNG from their website or a JPG from an email signature. The original designer may be unreachable and the source file lost. Tracing the best image you have is the practical way to get a usable vector version back.
Logos are the ideal case for tracing: few colors, solid fills, clear edges. The Logo preset merges the anti-aliasing shades along edges into the main colors, so the SVG ends up with roughly one shape per color area instead of hundreds of slivers. The colors are taken from the image, so check them against your official brand values afterwards.

You can also trace the logo here on filetidy first and open the SVG in Inkscape just for the final color and node clean-up.
If anyone still has the original vector file, the designer, the agency or the print shop that made your last batch of business cards, ask them first. An original file has exact colors, true geometric shapes and real fonts, and nothing traced can match that.
Tracing is the right choice when the original is gone, or when you need a vector version quickly for a mock-up, a cutting machine or a website. For most simple logos the traced SVG is indistinguishable from the original at normal sizes. For a professional reprint, a designer can use the traced SVG as a starting point and redraw it in far less time than from scratch.
Only vectorize logos you own or have permission to use. Tracing someone else's trademark doesn't change who owns it.
Close, but not always exactly. Colors are sampled from the pixels, and compression or resizing can shift them slightly. Open the SVG in any text or vector editor and replace each fill value with your official hex code; a simple logo only has a handful of them.
It will produce an SVG, but small images give rough, lumpy curves because each edge is only a few pixels long. Look for the logo in old documents, presentations, email signatures or your website's image files; anything around 1000 px wide gives a much cleaner result.
Yes, SVG is widely accepted. Many vinyl cutters prefer a single-color version, so try Black & white output for that. Embroidery shops usually convert vectors to a stitch file themselves; ask them if they also need a PDF or EPS.
Thin strokes, serifs and tight letter spacing are hard to trace from pixels. Lower the corner threshold and use a larger source image. If the lettering must be perfect, retype it with the original font in a vector editor and keep the traced symbol.
Yes. Use Copy SVG code and paste it into your HTML, or upload the file and reference it in an img tag. Keep Optimize SVG on: it removes unnecessary precision and makes the file smaller, which helps page speed.

Removes spots smaller than this. Raise it for noisy scans.
Lower keeps more sharp corners; higher gives smoother curves.
Higher keeps more distinct colors, with more shapes and a bigger file.
Rounds coordinates and simplifies the code. The shapes don't change visibly.
