Clean edges and letter holes
Background removal AI is trained mostly on photos of people and products. On a flat logo it can round off sharp corners or leave the inside of letters filled. This tool uses a different method, made for flat colors on a flat background.
It removes the background color everywhere, including enclosed spaces, then smooths the edges and strips the leftover background tint from edge pixels. The result is a logo with a transparent background that looks sharp on light and dark pages. Most logos arrive on white, so this is also the simplest way to remove the white background from a logo.
White or black logo for dark and light backgrounds
A dark logo disappears on a dark website header, a photo or a black T-shirt mockup. Under Logo color, choose White to get a one-color white version, or Black for light backgrounds. The shape and soft edges stay exactly the same; only the color changes. Keep Original for full-color use.
Logo sizes
Under Size, the logo sizes trim the empty space around your logo and center it on a square canvas with an even margin:
- 512 × 512: app icons and website icons. Browsers and phones scale it down for favicons.
- 1024 × 1024: a large master copy for presentations and print proofs.
- 400 × 400: profile pictures. Most social networks crop these to a circle, so this size leaves a wider margin.
A small logo scaled up to 1024 px will look soft: start from the largest copy you have. “Crop to subject” trims the logo with a small margin and keeps its own proportions.
Logo file formats: PNG, SVG and when to use each
| Format | Best for | Transparency |
|---|---|---|
| PNG | Websites, documents, social media | Yes |
| WebP | Websites where file size matters | Yes |
| JPG | Photos only; avoid for logos | No |
| SVG | Print and any size; needs the original vector file | Yes |
Tips for the best result
- Start from the largest version of your logo you have.
- Screenshots work well; photos of printed logos work better with the white background tool at a higher tolerance.
- If your logo is a photo or has gradients that blend into the background, try the AI background remover.
