Vector Squid's Logo mode traces each shape and samples its true colour from your original image — no flat palette guessing. Get clean, scalable SVG logos ready for Illustrator, Cricut, or screen printing.
Most converters guess colours. Vector Squid samples them from your original image.
Each traced shape is filled with the actual dominant colour from your source image — not a median-cut approximation. What you see is what you get.
Enable Cutout mode for non-overlapping colour layers. Ideal for vinyl cutting on Cricut / Silhouette and screen printing where colours must not overlap.
Logo mode removes the background by default. A single click or auto-detect preserves interior white areas (letter counters, knockouts).
Slide the ink threshold to control which pixels qualify as logo ink. Fine-tune between capturing fine details and cleaning up compression noise.
Your logo file never leaves your device. Perfect for confidential brand work — no NDAs needed with your conversion tool.
Export your logo as a true vector PDF for screen printing — each colour on its own traceable layer in the file. Pro feature.
