Quick Answer
To resize a logo cleanly, preserve its aspect ratio and avoid enlarging a small raster source. A PNG can be resized without adding JPEG compression artifacts, but changing pixel dimensions still resamples its edges. Only original vector artwork can be scaled without a fixed source-pixel limit.
Settings for this task
| Decision | Starting point | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Largest clean original | Avoid screenshots and previously compressed copies. |
| Aspect ratio | Proportional fit | Change the canvas, not the logo proportions. |
| Export | PNG for alpha; WebP/JPEG where appropriate | Judge at the final display size. |
Worked example
A 1200×400 source displayed at 300×100 has four source pixels per display pixel along each axis. Exporting 600×200 provides a 2× raster for that display. Enlarging a 150×50 source to 600×200 creates more pixels, but no new lettering detail.
Step-by-step workflow
- Determine the displayed width and height first.
- Use a source at least as large as the desired raster export.
- Set the output canvas and fit the logo proportionally.
- Compare edges and small lettering at 100% output size, then at the intended display size.
Limits and final checks
If the original is blurry, request a larger source or the original SVG/PDF from its designer. Sharpening or tracing is not proof of recovered fidelity.
