A photo needs a different approach
This looks like a photo of a garment. Tracing a photo won't give a print-ready sublimation file.
You can still upscale a photo for a reference or mockup.
This logo has gradients. Tracing turns gradients into hard colour bands. For sublimation or DTF, use the high-res PNG. For screen print or embroidery, ask us for a redraw.
This setting is deleting parts of your logo. Lower Remove specks to keep small letters and outlines.
AI processing starts only when you press Upscale. It downloads about 2.4 MB once, then your browser caches the model. The image itself stays on your device.
4× uses two AI passes. This can take up to a minute; keep this tab open.
Simple flat-colour logos trace best. Photos, gradients, tiny text and intricate illustrations may need a manual redraw. Embroidery needs separate factory digitising.
Slide left for the full result, right for the original. Zoom in to inspect lettering and edges.
After tracing, turn on area editing and tap an enclosed area to keep it or make it transparent.

Print-ready check
Upload an image to check DPI.
300 DPI is ideal; 200 DPI is acceptable for many print methods. The check uses actual image pixels, not an enlarged download size. Vector paths scale without a DPI limit.
Maximum 4000 px on phones; up to 8000 px on desktop. Wider files use more memory.
1600 px = 13.5 cm at 300 DPI.
Your printer rejected your logo? Fix it in three steps
Upload the clearest file you have. For a simple emblem, remove its background, reduce the colours and trace it into editable vector paths. For photography or gradients, enhance the raster image instead. Compare both views before you download. A larger PNG is useful for a mockup; a clean SVG is the safer starting point when a printer asks for vector artwork.
Only have a screenshot of your logo?
A screenshot or email-signature image often has no transparent background and may carry compression noise. Start by removing the flat backdrop and lowering the colour count. Choose enough smoothing to avoid wavy edges without rounding letters. Keep the resulting SVG, a transparent PNG and a high-resolution PNG together with your original file. If the source is tiny or the lettering is complex, request a human redraw instead of trusting an automatic trace.
Trace or upscale — which one?
| Artwork | Best first choice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Flat logo, crest or bold text | Trace | Creates scalable paths and makes colour reduction possible. |
| Photo, gradient or painted artwork | Upscale | Preserves raster detail without turning it into many irregular shapes. |
| Tiny text or hand lettering | Human redraw | Automatic tools cannot reliably recover missing strokes or letterforms. |
Why traced logos look jagged
Blur, JPEG blocks and a background can all become unwanted vector paths. Use background removal before tracing, then adjust smoothing and speck removal. The path count shown with your result helps you see when an automatic trace has become too complex. More paths do not always mean a better print file; inspect circles, corners and small type at full size.
What file and DPI does your printer need?
| Method | Useful artwork | Preparation note |
|---|---|---|
| Sublimation | SVG or 300 DPI transparent PNG | 200 DPI may be acceptable at the final print size. |
| DTF | High-resolution transparent PNG or SVG | Check edge transparency and actual printed width. |
| Screen print | Vector with a small, deliberate colour palette | Each colour needs production review. |
| Embroidery | Vector starting point | The factory must digitise a separate stitch file. |
| Heat-transfer vinyl | Simple, closed vector shapes | Inspect fine lines and connected pieces with your maker. |
Free sublimation file recreation from a photo
A garment photo is a reference, not a flat printing pattern. Shadows, seams and perspective cannot be converted into accurate panels by automatic logo tracing. For a sublimation file from a photo, our designers review your own design and rebuild front, back, sleeves and collar or cuff panels for the required sizes. Factory patterns, seam allowances, colours and printer requirements are confirmed before production. The final artwork may be vector or 150–300 DPI raster at the required panel size.
Crop an individual crest or number to try tracing just that detail, or open the recreation request with your reference photo. This recreation service is currently free. Timing is confirmed after review.
Only for your own designs or designs you have permission to reproduce — we don't copy other teams' or brands' kits.
Private by design
This tool processes artwork in your browser. Files are not uploaded to a Crownseam server. The tracing and AI files are downloaded only when you choose those actions. You can cancel processing and keep your original image. The tool has no watermark, signup or download charge.
From logo to jersey or hoodie
Once you like the result, send it to the Design Studio and place it on a garment. Try it with football, basketball, rugby or ice hockey styles, or explore streetwear and design ideas. The team order planner helps organise sizes and player details.
Need it perfect?
Ask the Crownseam team to review or redraw a logo that automatic tools cannot cleanly rebuild. A vector file does not by itself confirm print or embroidery readiness; artwork, placement, colour and fabric are checked with your order and sample.
Check the result before you send it to print
Zoom in on the finished artwork and compare it with the original, especially around letters, outlines, small gaps and circles. A smooth preview can hide an altered character or a missing detail. If the trace contains many tiny shapes, return to the colour and cleanup controls and try a simpler result. Keep a copy of the source image so you can compare again after changing settings.
For a raster file, enter the width you actually want to print. The DPI badge uses that physical width, so making the same image larger on a garment lowers its effective resolution. Enlarging a file does not create the detail that was absent from the original. If you use AI upscale, inspect tiny text and crisp corners particularly carefully; generated detail can look convincing on a screen yet differ from your logo.
For a vector file, check that the background is truly gone and that the colours are the ones you intend. The SVG is a scalable starting point, but a printer may still need to review line thickness, separations and garment placement. Screen printing usually benefits from a deliberate, limited palette. Embroidery needs a separate stitch file made by a digitiser; sending an SVG alone is not enough.
Save the original, the editable SVG and a transparent PNG together. When you ask for a Crownseam quote, include the chosen print width, garment colour, decoration method and a reference image of the intended result. This gives the factory a clearer brief than a file on its own. The final artwork and production method should be confirmed against your sample.
Questions about logo files
Can I turn a photo of a jersey into a sublimation print file?
Not directly. Automatic tracing follows shading and perspective and cannot create accurate flat garment panels. Crop a logo or graphic to trace that part, or ask our team to recreate your own authorised design as front, back, sleeve and collar/cuff panels per size. Our team can recreate your own authorised design as flat print-ready panels — this service is currently free. Timing is confirmed after review.
Is this logo vectorizer really free?
Yes. There is no signup, watermark, download fee or usage limit.
Are my files uploaded to your server?
No. Processing runs in your browser; your logo file never leaves your device.
My printer says my logo is too low resolution — what do I do?
Trace it to SVG if it is a simple logo, or upscale detailed artwork, then check the DPI at your final print width.
Can I make a vector from a screenshot of my logo?
Yes, if the screenshot is clear enough. Remove the background, reduce colours and trace it.
Why does my traced logo look jagged or wavy?
Blur, JPEG noise or background edges may be traced. Adjust cleanup and smoothness, or request a redraw.
Should I trace or upscale my logo?
Trace flat logos and text; upscale photos and gradients. Detailed lettering may need manual work.
Can AI upscaling change my logo?
Yes. It can alter tiny letters or sharp corners, so compare the result with the original before using it.
What DPI do I need for shirt printing?
Around 300 DPI at final size is ideal; 200 DPI is a useful minimum. Vector artwork has no fixed DPI.
Which file do I send for sublimation, DTF, screen print or embroidery?
Sublimation and DTF use high-resolution PNG or vector artwork; screen print favours limited-colour vector art; embroidery needs separate digitising.
How do I reduce colours for screen printing?
Use the one-to-eight colour control, then review and recolour the result.
Can I put my logo on a jersey or hoodie?
Yes. Send it to the Design Studio and request a factory quote when you are ready.
Can I upload any logo?
Only upload artwork you own or have permission to use.
