Logo File Formats: SVG, PNG, PDF, EPS — Which Is for What?
The complete guide to logo file formats
Technical & Export
Every logo should exist in multiple formats — but which ones do you actually need? This guide explains all relevant file formats and when to use them.
Vector Formats (scalable)
- SVG — Web standard, editable, perfect for digital use
- PDF — Universal, print-ready, preserves vector data
- EPS — Legacy format for print shops (being replaced by PDF)
- AI — Adobe Illustrator native (only editable with Illustrator)
Raster Formats (pixel-based)
- PNG — Transparency, lossless, ideal for web/social media
- JPG — Only for photos with logo (never logo alone as JPG)
- WebP — Modern web format, smaller than PNG
- ICO — Specifically for favicons
