Your logo, rebuilt by hand as a real vector file.

A JPG off an old website. A scan of a business card. A screenshot someone found in an email. Whatever condition it arrives in, it goes back out as a clean vector that holds up at any size.

Auto-trace is not vectorization

Run a logo through an auto-tracer and you get a vector file in the technical sense: thousands of stray anchor points, wobbling edges, and colours that split into dozens of near-identical shades. It looks fine at thumbnail size and falls apart on a sign. I redraw every curve with the pen tool, so the shapes are the shapes your logo was always meant to have — and the file stays editable for whoever handles it next.

Best for: businesses with no source file, printers who have been sent an unusable logo, and anyone who has been told their artwork is “too low resolution”.

What's included:

The file the client sent, and the file I sent back

Three recent jobs. Replace these placeholders with real before-and-after pairs from your vectorisation category.

How the job runs

The extra step here is the honest conversation about what the AI actually gave you.

Send the File

Any format, any quality. If all you have is a photo of a sign, send that.

Free Review

I tell you what's recoverable, what needs redrawing, and what it will cost.

Manual Rebuild

Every path drawn in Illustrator, checked against your original at full size.

Delivery

Every format you need, set up for the exact process you're printing with.

What you receive, every time

One job, one complete file set. No extra charge for extra formats.

Questions I get asked

Anything not covered here, just ask. I reply within one working day.

What if my logo is really bad quality?

That’s most of what I’m sent. A blurry 200px JPG is enough to work from, because I’m redrawing the shapes rather than tracing pixels. The only thing I can’t recover is detail that was never visible — and I’ll tell you that before you pay anything.

How is this different from a free online vectoriser?

A free tool traces the edges of pixels. That produces thousands of anchor points, ragged curves and split colours. A human redraws the intended shape. On screen the difference is small; on a vinyl cutter, an embroidery machine or a three-metre sign, it’s the difference between usable and not.

Do I own the finished file?

Yes. Full rights transfer to you on delivery. I keep a backup for a limited period in case you lose it, nothing more.

How long does it take?

Most single logos are back within one to two working days. Complex illustrations or large batches take longer, and I’ll give you a firm date before starting.

Other things I do

Not quite what you need? One of these may fit better.

Send me the file. I'll tell you what it needs.
