How To Vectorize a PNG Logo with Inkscape

Thanks so much! You saved me weeks of frustration trying to learn inkscape for one logo. As a freehand artist who finds the whole "drawing with shapes" thing headache inducing it's a relief to know I can just draw the dang logo and convert it.

This was incredible man! You taught me from nothing to doing it for my design work in literally 10 minutes. So thank full!

Big time saver: Instead of using the dropper tool multiple times to select the same color, you can first copy a shape with the fill and stroke style/colors you want. After that, you can paste these colors to other shapes by selecting them and Ctrl + Shift + V (Edit - Paste Style). I use this all the time. Video is great as always.

This is incredible! I love how you just drop important things like which keys to use so we don't have to look up all those small things. That's attention to detail. Can't believe this is free!

Not only did i learn that i can vectorize GIMP images, but also got a headstart on how to use Inkscape itself. Amazing video, as always.

This is one of the first things (and also one of the few things) I worked out how to do myself. Inkscape is a wonderful piece of software.

Nick my dude you are saving my life. I've been in somewhat dire financial straits for the past year, but your tutorials have enabled me to earn a little bit more money than I otherwise would have. Thanks for freely giving out so much information

Even with years of experience, I always learn at least one new thing from your videos. I've used trace bitmap many times, but I never realized inkscape has a bucket fill tool - to think of all the time I've wasted tracing something, breaking it apart to make a small change, and then doing a bunch of boolean differences to put the parts I wanted to keep transparent back together.

I've been searching for this video for over a month and now its here!! Thanks a lot Nick

Hey Nick! I am a self-taught freelance graphic designer and your videos are very helpful in my work. You are an inspiration for many people out there wanting to start graphic designing, for free but don't know how to. Inkscape is free to use and your tutorials are the best and your thumbnails are attractive. I would love if you make a video on how to design epic thumbnails like yours that grab attention. Thank you.

Wow! This tutorial was so in depth - I've just redesigned my whole new logo and feeling like from zero to hero! Thanks for this great tutorial!

Your content has been useful for the development of my skills in both GIMP and Inkscape, I thank you for all of these well edited and concise guides.

Just what I needed to add hand lettered elements to my logo designs! Thank you so much Nick!

Thank you so much for this amazing channel. I'm learning Inkscape since I can't afford Illustrator, and I was curious if I won't be learning the optimal thing. But after I watched your beautiful comparison video and saw some of your work, I'm so determined to follow your tutorials. Thank you for these "gems" that you're providing to Inkscape users out there.

I am doing an image and had a rasterized png before, so I exactly needed this video. 😄 Thanks, nick!

Thanks. I shyed away from learning to digitise for embroidery. After years with old sewing machines I bought my first new sewing maching with embroidery over a year ago. I played around with inkscape for the past year. So glad I found it. If I don't use a new software often, I forget what I learned , so it is slow going and I hired graphic artists to digitise my ideas. Now I am more motivated as I made a few simple things with the inkstitch extension! The only way I have to learn is by the internet as I don't know anyone who knows how to do it. Great info and you explain well with a good voice and intelligence!

I knew what a vector file was when I had to submit plans for my addition on the house. I had no idea what it took to create them. Now I find myself needing svg files. I have many personal images I want to transfer via engraving. I'm pretty sure you just solved my conundrum! Thank you, so much!

Thank you so much! I'm gonna study Mediadesign next year and I'm currently working on my portfolio. I started using Inkscape a few days ago and I thought I'd never get the hand of it. I only watched a few of your videos but I was finally able to make my own logo that I think looks cool. A week ago I've thought I won't be able to do that in the near future. Thank you for every single video!!! You have no idea how grateful I am

I think I'm in LOVE!! :) Thank you so much!! I have been trying to learn how to do this for months and you taught me in 10 minutes!! I will be looking at all of your videos!!

this was super helpful!! i just vectored a few of my images i’ll be using for merchandise. i’m excited to learn more! thank you for doing this tutorial. 💛
