Best Logo Format for Websites
Logos are graphics, not photos. The best logo format for websites prioritizes crisp edges and scalable branding over photographic compression.
Quick take: SVG first; PNG second; JPG last. Convert JPG logos to PNG/SVG workflows when you still can.
Why SVG wins
Vector paths scale from favicon to retina hero without blur. Modern browsers render SVG well for site chrome.
When PNG is right
Some email/CMS slots reject SVG. Export a high-resolution PNG with transparency for those channels.
Conversion tips
If you only have a JPG logo, convert to PNG for less harsh re-encoding later — but recreate in SVG when possible for true sharpness.
Key points
- SVG = best default for site logos.
- PNG for raster/transparency needs.
- Skip JPG for wordmarks and icons.
