Why Convert Your Logo to SVG

The SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format is a type of vector file. Unlike traditional image formats (JPG, PNG, GIF), it offers several advantages:

  • Optimal Quality: The logo remains sharp regardless of the screen size or the element where it is displayed.

  • Performance: SVG files are generally lighter, which speeds up the loading of your site or application.

  • Compatibility: CentralApp requires this format to ensure perfect integration into your profile and digital media.

If your company only has JPG or PNG files of your logo, you can easily convert them to SVG using online tools.

Best Practices for an SVG Logo

To get the most out of your SVG logo, here are some recommendations:

  • Preserve Transparency: A transparent background allows your logo to adapt to any page color.

  • Avoid Embedded Raster Images: An SVG should remain vector-based to ensure sharpness.

  • Name Your Files Clearly: Use a simple and descriptive name (e.g., logo_centralapp.svg) for easy management.

  • Check Mobile Compatibility: Test your logo on different screens to ensure it remains readable.

If you regularly modify your logo, always keep an original SVG version to avoid repeating the conversion.
