Vectorize Logo for Business Cards
Business card printers require vector files — EPS, SVG, or AI. If your logo exists only as a PNG or JPG, vectorize it first. The protected preview is available without an account; editable SVG export requires paid or complimentary access.

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.

Business cards are printed at 3.5" × 2" — a small physical space where logo sharpness matters most. Raster logos (PNG, JPG) at business card size often print blurry or pixelated, especially when the original file was low resolution. Vector logos — where paths are mathematically defined — always print sharp regardless of size.
Formats accepted by business card printers: — EPS: the standard professional vector format for offset and digital print. — SVG: accepted by most modern print-on-demand services. — AI (Adobe Illustrator): required by some professional print shops. — PDF with vector elements embedded: Vistaprint, MOO, and most others accept.
How to prepare a vectorized logo for business card printing: 1. Vectorize the PNG or JPG logo using the tool below. 2. The protected preview is available without an account; editable SVG export requires paid or complimentary access. Open in Illustrator and save as EPS or AI if required. 3. Convert any text elements to outlines (Text > Create Outlines in Illustrator) — this prevents font substitution at the printer. 4. Set color mode to CMYK for offset printing (Edit > Document Color Mode in Illustrator). 5. Upload to Vistaprint, MOO, Canva Print, or send to your local print shop.
Bleed and safe zone: leave 1/8" (3mm) bleed around the card edge and keep all critical content within the 1/4" (6mm) safe zone from the trim line. Most print services provide a template with bleed guides.
