Protected Vector Preview
No account is required to create or view the protected preview. The preview accepts one PNG, JPEG, or WebP file up to 4 MiB; other source formats must be exported or converted to one of those formats first. Editable SVG export requires paid or complimentary access. Review the exported SVG in the appropriate downstream software; non-SVG formats and machine instructions require separate conversion.

Adobe Illustrator native AI format is the professional design industry standard. This protected workflow exports authorized SVG only; use a separate downstream tool for other file formats or machine instructions. This produces a fully editable vector document in Illustrator native format.
The vectorization step is the critical component. Once the SVG is open in Illustrator, every path is individually editable — adjust colors, refine anchor points, reorganize layers, and apply Illustrator-specific effects.
This workflow is essential when clients or print vendors require AI files. Rather than manually redrawing your logo from scratch in Illustrator, vectorize the raster source and refine the result. For clean logos and icons, the auto-traced SVG typically requires minimal cleanup to produce a polished AI file.
The entire process takes minutes rather than hours of manual work. After authorized SVG export, use a separate downstream tool to create AI and inspect that file for the intended workflow.
