[ Plain English ]

Why your printer says no.

Your logo is a grid of tiny colored squares. On a screen, nobody sees them. Blown up on a banner or embroidered on a jersey, every square shows and the edges turn into staircases.

So your printer wants a file made of shapes rather than squares. That’s what we make here, in four steps.

Free converters skip the second one. Hence their white box: invisible on paper, a disaster on a dark t-shirt.

  1. 01 If your image is too small We give it more detail first. A tiny image doesn’t hold enough information to be redrawn cleanly.
  2. 02 We remove the background Off-white paper, photocopy grey, the scenery in a photo: it all goes. Only your logo is left.
  3. 03 We redraw everything as curves Every shape is rebuilt. That’s what keeps the logo sharp at any size, from a business card to a banner.
  4. 04 We lock the proportions So nobody at the other end can squash or stretch your logo by accident.

What Depixelise doesn’t do. It doesn’t deliver .ai, .eps or PDF files, but Illustrator can open the SVG and save it in any of them in seconds, and Inkscape (free) can save it as .eps or PDF. There are no settings to adjust, and you can’t edit the shapes in the tool. A very small image is enlarged automatically and its shapes are rebuilt, so zoom in to check details like lettering. And a photo comes out looking like an illustration, not a photo.

For a logo headed to your printer, start with Depixelise and zoom in to check the result. A paid converter is worth it if you convert complex artwork every week; a designer, if your logo is too damaged to convert automatically.

[ FAQ ]

What people ask us most

What is an SVG?

A file that describes your logo with shapes instead of pixels. It stays sharp at any size, from a business card to a four-meter banner. It’s what your printer means by “a vector file”.

Is it really free?

Yes, completely. No paid plan, no credits, no card, no watermark on the result. Your files are yours: use them however you like, with any printer you choose.

Does my logo go to a server?

Yes, for the time of the conversion. The processing needs more power than a browser has: your file is sent to our server, vectorized, then sent back. It is never published, never sold, never used for anything else.

Will the result match my logo?

In the vast majority of cases, yes, and you see it full size on screen right away. One caveat: if your starting image is very small, it is upscaled automatically and the shapes are rebuilt. With an unusual typeface, a detail may get “corrected”. Zoom in on the result and you’ll see right away.

Which files can I upload?

A PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG, up to 10 MB. A screenshot, a photo of your logo on a flyer or an image saved from a website all work: the sharper it is to begin with, the cleaner the trace.

What’s in the pack I get by email?

Four files: the vectorized SVG with the background removed, a 2000-pixel PNG on a transparent background for the web, an all-black version for engraving, stamps or one-color embroidery, and an all-white version for dark backgrounds and fabrics.

My printer wants an .ai or .eps file. Will the SVG do?

Often, yes: most print shops open SVG files in their software. If they insist on another format, Illustrator can open the SVG and save it as .ai, .eps or PDF in a few seconds, with no loss; Inkscape, which is free, can save it as .eps or PDF.

Can an embroiderer use this file?

Yes, as a starting point. Embroiderers don’t stitch an SVG as is: they turn it into a stitch program. A clean file saves them from redrawing your logo, and the one-color version in the pack is ready for single-color embroidery.

Can I see my logo on a t-shirt before ordering?

Yes, with our free mockup generator: t-shirt, hoodie, sweatshirt or tote bag, in the color you want, front or back. The high-resolution mockup can also be sent to you by email.
