A logo with a background only looks right on a page of the same colour. Put it on a dark header, a photo or a coloured slide and the box shows. This tool removes the box and returns the logo as a transparent PNG. The page opens with transparency selected and the edge feather at zero, because the outline of a logo should stay crisp rather than soft.
It helps when the original artwork is lost and all you have is a JPG from an old document, a picture from a website or a scan of a letterhead. The result keeps the pixel size of what you uploaded. That is also its limit: a small, blurry logo stays small and blurry. For print or large sizes, ask whoever designed the logo for the vector file, which no background remover can recreate.
The tool looks for a subject, so a logo made of one solid mark comes out best. A logo of several separate parts, thin lettering, or white elements on a white background can lose pieces, because those pieces look like background. Compare the result with the original using the divider before you use it. To make a website icon from the result, the PNG to ICO converter takes a transparent PNG directly. Files are sent encrypted, processed on our own servers and deleted within one hour.
Where a transparent logo earns its keep
Count the places a logo ends up and the case for a transparent version makes itself. The header of a website, which may be white today and dark in next year's redesign. The first slide of every presentation, on whatever template the event supplies. An email signature, where a white box looks broken in a mail program set to dark mode. Invoices and letterheads. The corner of product photos, as a watermark. A partner's sponsor page, on a background you have never seen. One transparent PNG serves all of them.
Old JPG logos carry noise around the letters
Many logos survive only as a JPG that has been saved again and again. JPEG compression leaves a faint speckle of grey pixels around every sharp edge, invisible on white and present all the same. When the background is removed, some of that speckle stays attached to the lettering and shows as a dirty outline on a dark colour.
No setting cleans this up completely. Start from the largest and least compressed copy you can find: the one on the company's own website is often better than the one in an old document, and a PDF brochure may contain the logo as vector artwork, a far cleaner starting point than an old JPG. If the fringe is slight, a result that will only be used at small sizes can still be perfectly presentable.
Make the sizes you need while you are here
A logo is needed at several sizes, and scaling a transparent PNG down is safe where scaling it up is not. Take the cleaned logo at its full size and keep it as the master. From it, the resize tool on this site makes a 400 pixel version for an email signature and a 1200 pixel one for slides, and the PNG to ICO converter turns it into the icon a browser shows in its tab.
What no tool here can do is add resolution. A 200 pixel logo enlarged to 2000 is a blurred shape. For signage, print and anything large, the designer's vector file is the only good source.
Frequently asked questions
Which format will I get?
A transparent PNG by default. WebP, which is smaller, is also available.
Will my logo get sharper?
No. The result has the same resolution as the file you uploaded.
Some letters went missing. Why?
Thin or pale parts can be read as background. A logo with strong contrast gives the best result.
Can I make a favicon from it?
Yes. Put the transparent PNG through the PNG to ICO converter.
Can I change the colour of the logo, or make a white version?
Not with this tool. It removes the background and leaves the logo's own colours as they are. A design program can recolour the transparent PNG afterwards.
Can I get the logo as an SVG?
No. The result is a pixel image, PNG or WebP. Turning pixels back into vector shapes is a different process, which this site does not offer.
