How to find a company’s logo

By Updated 10 min read

To find a company’s logo, start on the company’s own website: the logo in the page header is usually an SVG or PNG file you can save, and many companies keep official versions on a press or brand page. When the site has neither, look on Wikimedia Commons, in the logo the page names in its code, and in its app icons. The free Logo Finder checks the website, its page data, Wikimedia Commons and its icons at once: type the website and pick the logo.

Each method below works for any company with a website, from a global brand to the bakery down the road. Sources were checked on November 4, 2026.

What is the fastest way to find a company’s logo?

The fastest way to find a company’s logo is to type its website into the free Proofscene Logo Finder and press Find logo. It reads the company’s own website, the official logo named in the page’s structured data, the logo file on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, the site’s app icons and favicons, and the Internet Archive’s copy of sites that turn visitors away, then shows the best match first.

Click a logo to see it large on any background, with File details that say in plain words whether it is a vector or a picture, its size in pixels and whether it is ready for print. Then download the version you need: the original, a transparent PNG from 512 to 4096 px, SVG, PDF or EPS, a white, black or any-color version, or a favicon pack, with the brand colors in HEX, RGB and CMYK.

Website searches are free and do not require an account to start; a free account unlocks more searches. A logo file you already have is converted free and without limit, inside your browser, so it never leaves your device.

How do you save a logo from a company’s website?

To save a logo from a company’s website, right-click the logo in the page header and choose Save image as. That works whenever the header logo is an ordinary image file. If the menu offers no image option, the logo is usually drawn in the page’s code as an inline SVG, and the browser’s developer tools bring it out in three steps:

  1. Right-click the logo and choose Inspect, or press Ctrl+Shift+C (Cmd+Option+C on a Mac) and click the logo. Chrome opens its Elements panel with the logo’s code selected, as the Chrome DevTools documentation describes; Edge and Firefox offer the same Inspect option.
  2. If the selected line is an <img> tag, open the address in its src in a new tab and save the file. If the tag also has a srcset, take the address marked 2x or the largest width: it is the sharpest version the site offers.
  3. If the selected line is an <svg>, right-click it, choose Copy, then Copy outerHTML, paste it into a plain text file and save it as logo.svg. That is the company’s vector original. Colors that the page’s stylesheet sets stay behind in the page, so a copied SVG can open in black: the Logo Finder lists the logo’s colors with their HEX values, and its Color version paints the logo in any of them.

Check what you saved before you use it. Header logos are often small: WordPress’s theme handbook uses 400 × 100 px in its custom logo example, which is plenty on screen and too small for print (see what logo file a printer needs). Some sites also put a white logo over a dark header, which looks blank on a white page until you view it on a dark background.

Where do companies publish their official logo files?

Companies publish their official logo files on a press, media or brand page, usually linked in the website footer as Press, Newsroom, Media kit or Brand. Those pages are the best source there is: the files come from the company itself, often as EPS, SVG, PDF and PNG, with the brand colors and rules for clear space and minimum size.

If the footer has no such link, try the address followed by /press, /media, /brand or /newsroom, or search for the company name with brand guidelines or press kit. Many smaller businesses have no press page; for them, the header logo, the page code and the icons below are the places to look.

Can you get a company’s logo from Wikipedia?

You can get many companies’ logos from Wikipedia: the logo at the top of a company article’s infobox opens a file page, where the Original file link downloads the full file, often an SVG. Logos hosted on Wikimedia Commons also come as ready-made PNGs; the Commons page for Google’s 2015 logo offers 960 × 325, 1,280 × 433 and 3,840 × 1,299 px versions beside the 2 KB original SVG.

Two kinds of logo file live there. A logo made “only of simple geometric shapes or text” does not meet the threshold of originality for copyright, as that same Commons page explains, so Commons hosts it as public domain, with a note that it may still be protected as a trademark. More detailed logos stay on English Wikipedia as non-free files, which its guideline keeps small: most needs “can be met with an image containing no more than about 100,000 pixels” (Wikipedia’s non-free content guideline). That is about 400 × 250 px: good on a slide and too small for print, where the company’s own files are the better source.

How do you find the logo in a website’s code?

A website’s code often names its official logo in structured data, the block of facts a site gives search engines. Right-click the page, choose View page source and search for "logo": inside an Organization block you will find a line such as "logo": "https://example.com/logo.png". Google asks for that image to be at least 112 × 112 px, crawlable and good-looking on white (Google Search Central).

The same page source lists the other logo-like images a site declares:

  • The social share picture, og:image: the image the Open Graph protocol defines as one that “should represent your object” (ogp.me). It is often the logo on a brand-color background.
  • The iPhone home-screen icon, apple-touch-icon: a square icon, 180 × 180 px for iPhone in Apple’s archived Safari web content guide.
  • The web app manifest icons, which Chrome needs at 192 × 192 and 512 × 512 px to install a site as an app (web.dev). The 512 px icon is often the largest square version of the mark a site has.
  • The browser tab icon, the favicon, in a rel="icon" link. The favicon grabber finds a site’s icons from its address, ready to download.

What if the website blocks you or the logo has changed?

When a company’s website turns automated visitors away, is down, or has replaced its logo, the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine shows the site as it was saved on earlier dates. Enter the address, press Browse History and choose a day marked with a blue dot, which the Archive uses for a capture that loaded correctly (Internet Archive help). Save the logo from that copy as you would from the live site.

The Wayback Machine is also the way to find a company’s old logos: step back through the years and the header shows each logo the company has used. The Logo Finder reads the Archive’s copy automatically when a site turns it away, so those companies are found too.

How do you get a company’s logo as an SVG?

To get a company’s logo as an SVG, look in four places in this order: the inline <svg> in the website header, a header image whose address ends in .svg, the press or brand page, and the Original file on Wikimedia Commons. Each of these is a true vector original: sharp at any size, easy to recolor and ready to send to a printer.

When none of the four has one, the logo can be traced into a vector. The Logo Finder gives the company’s original SVG when the site has one and a traced SVG when it has only a picture, and Logo to SVG converts a PNG or JPG you already have, free and inside your browser. What SVG, EPS and PDF each do is in logo file formats, explained.

Which logo file should you download?

The logo file to download depends on the job: an SVG or a transparent PNG for screens, a vector PDF or EPS for a printer, a white version for dark backgrounds and a square icon for profile pictures. The table matches common jobs to files.

The pixel sizes each platform asks for, from LinkedIn to email signatures, are in logo sizes for web, social, email and print.

Can you turn the logo into 3D, an animation or a 3D print?

Yes: once you have the logo, the free 3D Logo Studio turns it into a smooth 3D logo, an animated logo video or a 3D print file, right in your browser. Type the company’s website on any of its pages, pick the logo, and the studio opens on it; a logo file you already have works the same way.

  • A 3D logo: the 3D logo maker gives the logo depth and rounded edges in gloss, gold, chrome or glass, on a dark, light, brand-color or transparent background, as images and 3D models (GLB, USDZ, OBJ).
  • An animation: the logo animation maker plays the 3D logo through 8 animations with music, and exports MP4 for Reels, TikTok, Shorts and YouTube, or a looping GIF.
  • A 3D print: logo to STL downloads a print-ready STL, or a 3MF with each color as its own part for multi-color printers, at the width you pick.

Previews are free with no account, and a free account downloads the files.

Can you use another company’s logo?

Logos belong to their owners: use them to refer to the company, in your own files and for work you do with its permission. That covers the everyday uses, such as a client’s logo on the business cards you print for them, a sponsor on an event board, a partner in a joint proposal or a company named in an article about it.

Trademark laws “control the commercial use of logos, terms, and names”, as Wikimedia Commons reminds its users, so ask the company first whenever a logo could look like an endorsement, and follow its brand guidelines where it has them. For a “trusted by” row of customer logos, ask each customer, then build the grid from their websites with the logo wall maker.

How do print shops get a client’s logo right the first time?

A print shop gets a client’s logo right the first time by skipping the screenshot or the small JPG the client sends and taking the original from the client’s own website. Type that website into the Logo Finder, take the PDF or EPS with the CMYK values, and read its File details before the logo goes into the proof.

Then show the client the logo where it will live. Proofscene turns your proof sheet into an interactive 3D model of the finished card, box or label, sent on your branded link, so the client sees the logo in place, in its real finish, before approving the job.

Finding a company’s logo, answered

Short answers about SVG files, old logos, blurry downloads and brand colors.

Ask us anything
How do I find a company’s logo for free?

Save the logo from the company’s website header, or download the official files from its press or brand page; Wikimedia Commons also hosts many logos as SVG. The free Proofscene Logo Finder checks the website, its page data, Wikipedia and its icons in one search, without requiring an account to start.

How do I download a logo from a website as an SVG?

Right-click the logo and choose Inspect. If the code shows an svg element, right-click it, choose Copy, then Copy outerHTML, and save it in a plain text file named logo.svg. If it shows an img whose address ends in .svg, open that address and save the file. If the site only has a PNG or JPG, trace it into a vector with a converter such as Logo to SVG.

Where can I find a company’s old logos?

In the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. Enter the company’s web address, press Browse History, pick a year and a day marked with a blue dot, and the header of that saved copy shows the logo the company used at the time. Step through the years to see each logo it has had.

Why does the logo I saved look blurry?

It has too few pixels for the size you are using it at. Logos on websites and in email signatures are often only a few hundred pixels wide: plenty on screen, too small to print or enlarge. Look for the SVG, PDF or EPS version, which stays sharp at any size, or a PNG with 300 pixels for every inch it will print.

How do I find a company’s brand colors?

Look for brand guidelines on the company’s press or brand page, which usually list HEX, RGB, CMYK and Pantone values. Without them, open the logo in the Logo Finder: its Brand colors list every color in the logo in HEX, RGB and CMYK, ready to copy.
