Will your printer actually accept your logo file?
Drop your logo in below. You’ll get a plain-English report on whether a sign maker, printer, wrapper or embroiderer can use it — how big it can safely go, and exactly what’s wrong if it can’t.
Nothing is uploaded. The check runs entirely inside your own browser. Your file never leaves your computer and we never see it.
How big can this be printed?
Based on the pixel dimensions of your file. Close-up print (leaflets, cards, brochures) needs roughly 300 dpi. Large-format work viewed from a distance (banners, vans, fascia signs) can usually get away with about 150 dpi.

Your logo at the size it would actually be produced
On a light background
On a dark background
If the answer was “no”, this is the fix.
Almost every small business has this problem, and almost none of them know until a printer turns the job down. Redrawing a logo properly as vector artwork isn’t something an auto-trace button or an AI tool does well — it’s drawn by hand, curve by curve, so it stays sharp at any size from an embroidered polo to a three-metre sign.

We are a design service — we produce the artwork, and you keep using whichever sign maker, printer or wrapper you like. We don’t print, supply or fit anything.
Why a logo that looks fine on screen fails in print
A logo can look perfect on your website and still be completely unusable the moment someone tries to put it on a van, a sign, a shirt or a brochure. These are the four reasons it happens.
It’s made of pixels, not shapes
A PNG or JPG is a fixed grid of coloured dots. Enlarge it and you enlarge the dots. Vector artwork stores the shapes themselves, so it stays razor-sharp at any size — which is why every sign maker asks for it.
It has a white box behind it
JPGs cannot store transparency, so your logo arrives with a white rectangle around it. On a coloured van or a dark sign, that box shows. It has to be cut out properly, not just made semi-transparent.
The text is still live text
If the fonts in your file haven’t been converted to outlines, your supplier’s machine will silently swap in a different font. Businesses find out when the printed job arrives in the wrong typeface.
It’s a fake vector
An SVG or PDF with a photo embedded inside it is not vector artwork — it’s a picture in a vector wrapper. Auto-trace tools produce similar things: hundreds of wobbly points that look right small and fall apart large.
Common questions
Is my file really not uploaded anywhere?
Correct. The checker is written in JavaScript that runs inside your own browser tab. Your file is read from your disk into your browser’s memory, examined there, and discarded when you close the page. It is never sent to us or to anyone else, and you can confirm that by disconnecting from the internet after the page loads — the checker will still work.
My designer sent me a PDF. Isn’t that already vector?
Not necessarily. A PDF is a container. It can hold true vector artwork, or it can hold a photograph of a logo, or both. The checker looks inside for embedded images and for fonts that haven’t been outlined, which are the two most common reasons a supplied PDF gets rejected.
Can’t I just run it through an online vectoriser?
You can, and for very simple shapes it sometimes works. The problem is that automatic tracing follows the compression noise and soft edges in your original file, so it produces shapes made of hundreds of unnecessary points with slightly wavy edges. It looks acceptable at thumbnail size and visibly rough at sign size. It also cannot recognise your typeface, so lettering ends up as blobby outlines rather than clean type.
What if I don’t own the original logo files?
That’s the normal situation, not the exception. Most businesses only have whatever the last person sent them. As long as you have the right to use the design, we can work from whatever you’ve got — even a small JPG pulled off your own website — and rebuild it as clean artwork. If anything about the ownership or originality of the design looks like a problem, we’ll say so before starting.
Do I own the files afterwards?
Yes. Once the work is complete and paid for, the final approved artwork is yours to use across your business and to hand to any supplier you like.
