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

You\u2019re using the wrong file type <\/h2>\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

Always edit the original image file <\/h2>\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\n

Is your website using an image compression plugin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We all know the importance of\u00a0website speed<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 it\u2019s paramount. However, if you\u2019re running an image compression plugin, sometimes it will try to compress an already small file size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Occasionally, this can result in a blurry image. If possible, disable the plugin for the logo only. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But ensure the image file size is small enough that it doesn\u2019t cause slow loading times \u2013 you can do this by saving it using the correct file formats in design software such as Adobe Photoshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
