Logo preparation guide

Turn your logo into useful SVG files.

Understand logo vectorization, choose a suitable source, and prepare SVG and transparent PNG files for websites and print.

What changes when a logo becomes a vector?

A PNG stores a grid of pixels. An SVG stores shapes as paths, so its outlines can be scaled without enlarging that pixel grid. Vectorization traces the visible shapes; it does not recover detail that is missing from a tiny or blurred source.

Choose a source that gives the trace a fair chance

Use the largest original image you have. A flat logo on a simple background is easier to prepare than a photograph of a sign, fabric, or embossed stationery. If your image contains several applications, select one complete logo, including its tagline and a little space around the edges.

  • Upload JPG, PNG, or PDF up to 20 MB. Choose the correct PDF page before selecting the logo.
  • Keep the symbol, every line of lettering, dots, and accents inside the selection.
  • Avoid screenshots of tiny thumbnails when the original file is available.

An example: the same logo on a website and a sign

For a white website, choose LogoTidy-horizontal-light.png. For a dark header, choose LogoTidy-horizontal-dark.png. Give your printer LogoTidy-main.svg or the vector PDF, then confirm the required size and color specifications with them. A screen preview cannot certify print color or the smallest printable detail.

Check the result before you approve it

Inspect the counters inside letters, thin strokes, corners, and spacing. Compare both light and dark applications. If a meaningful detail has changed, request a correction before downloading. Cleanup prepares your existing identity; choose Upgrade if you want the design itself modernized.
