Benchmark notes
Test setup
- Flat raster logo with strong contrast
- Reviewed for edge clarity, negative space, and editability after export
- Benchmarked in March 2026
Example
Logo tracing example: what cleaned up well and what did not in 2026
Examples are more useful than generic promises because they show what a real file does under realistic conditions. This example focuses on a simple flat mark with bold geometry, because that is one of the most common recovery jobs in the category.
Findings
What we observed
- The main outer silhouette converted cleanly and stayed usable at large sizes.
- Small internal gaps needed inspection, but not a full redraw.
- The resulting SVG was good enough to recolor and export into downstream assets after a light cleanup pass.
FAQ
Questions people ask us
What makes a logo trace successful?
