Why Your Logo Has a White Box (and How to Remove It)

By Image Size Compress Team

You uploaded your logo to your website or presentation, but it looks amateurish because there is a big white box around it. This happens because you are using a JPEG. JPEGs *cannot* be transparent.

JPG vs PNG for Logos

If you save a logo as a JPG, the computer fills the empty space with white pixels. To get a see-through background, you must use PNG (Portable Network Graphics).

How to Fix It

If you have a source file (like an SVG or a clean crisp image), use our **JPG to PNG Converter**. While this won't magically erase a complex background, it formats the file correctly for designers to work with. For best results, always ask your designer for the 'Transparent PNG' file, and then use our compressor to make that PNG small enough for your website.
