Quick answer

Updated 26 September 2026

To make a logo transparent, upload the logo (JPG, PNG, WEBP or a photo of it) to Kenerate, run Cutout HD so thin lines and small text stay sharp, and download a transparent PNG. If you have the original vector file, export an SVG instead — it stays sharp at any size.

Best mode: Cutout HD for fine edges
Keeps: Thin lines, small text, soft edges
Best format: SVG if vector; otherwise PNG

Choosing a format

Should my logo be PNG or SVG?

SVG is a vector format: tiny, and sharp at any size. If a designer gave you the original logo file (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG), export an SVG — nothing beats it for websites and print.

PNG with transparency is the universal option when all you have is a JPG, a screenshot or a photo. Make it large — at least twice the size it will be shown at — so it stays crisp on high-resolution screens.

Avoid JPG for logos: it can't be transparent and blurs sharp edges.

Common sizes

What size should a transparent logo PNG be?

Export at least twice the display size for sharp results on retina screens.

Before you start

Can I remove the background from any logo?

Use this on logos you own or are allowed to use. Removing or altering other companies' trademarks, or stripping watermarks from someone else's work, can break copyright and trademark rules.

In depth

Logo files: PNG, SVG and the sizes platforms want

Why vector beats pixels for logos, and what Google, LinkedIn and Google Play ask for — from their own documentation.

SVG vs PNG

The W3C defines SVG as scalable — not limited to a single, fixed pixel size — while raster formats like PNG and JPEG store information for every pixel ^[1]. So a transparent PNG from this tool is perfect for websites, slides and social profiles, but if you need to print a logo on a banner, ask the designer for the original vector (SVG, AI or EPS).

What platforms ask for

Size and background rules from each platform:

Google Search favicon — square, at least 8 × 8 px, larger than 48 × 48 px recommended; PNG among the accepted formats ^[2].
LinkedIn Page logo — 400 × 400 recommended (268 × 268 minimum), PNG or JPEG up to 3 MB, shown on both light and dark backgrounds ^[3].
Google Play app icon — 512 × 512, 32-bit PNG, full square; avoid a transparent background because it shows the Play UI colour ^[4].

Test on light and dark

LinkedIn shows logos on both light and dark backgrounds ^[3], so a black logo with a transparent background can vanish in dark mode. Preview the PNG on both before uploading, and keep a white version if needed.

How do I make my logo background transparent?

Upload the logo to Kenerate, run Cutout HD and download the transparent PNG. Check it on a dark background to make sure no white edge is left.

PNG or SVG for a logo?

SVG if you have the original vector artwork — it's tiny and sharp at any size. PNG with transparency works everywhere else, including slides, social media and most website builders.

What size should a transparent logo PNG be?

Export at least twice the largest size it will be shown at — for example 1000 px wide for a website header — so it stays crisp on high-resolution screens.

Can I remove the background from a logo in a photo?

Yes — a logo on paper, a sign or a business card. Photograph it straight on in even light; Cutout HD removes the paper and shadow.

Why does my transparent logo have a white edge?

The background was removed by colour and left near-white pixels. Use Cutout HD, or recolour the edge in an editor.

Can I make a favicon from the transparent logo?

Yes. Crop the PNG to a square around the icon part of the logo; most site builders accept a square PNG as a favicon.

Is it free?

Free to start with 25 credits on sign-up. Bigger jobs use one-time credit packs that never expire, with no subscription and no watermark.

Can I remove someone else's logo from an image?

Only edit logos you own or have permission to use. Removing trademarks or watermarks from other people's work can break copyright and trademark rules.
