So, you\u2019ve just uploaded your brand new logo fresh from that creative agency or freelancer on your website, and it\u2019s blurry. Did they do a bad job, or is it something you\u2019ve done when uploading?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Firstly, don\u2019t worry! There are likely several common causes, all with easy fixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This blog post will highlight the common reasons why your website logo could be blurry with steps on how to fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s get to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s a debate out there about what the best image file type is for logos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your logo is a graphic, then SVG files are the way to go. If this doesn\u2019t work and your image is still blurry, then we\u2019d recommend either a PNG or a JPG file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When saving your image, be sure to save with the RGB color format to retain the best colors for the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also: don\u2019t save the same image multiple times \u2013 this further depletes the image quality.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n When editing or saving an image, always edit the original file. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Any good graphic designer will send you the source file \u2013 make a copy of this, and edit from here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Editing a more recent version that has been saved to a different file format previously may cause your website logo to look blurry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another key culprit is the image size being too large, causing a stretched and blurry look. You can also edit the original file size from the source file.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAlways edit the original image file <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Is your website using an image compression plugin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
