How To Vectorize a PNG Logo with Inkscape

If the only copies you have for your logo are rasterized formats like PNG and JPG, then you won't be able to reap the benefits of having a vector SVG file, like infinite scaling and being able to edit your logo in the future. In that case, you'll need to generate a vector copy of your logo using vector design software, and that's what I'll be demonstrating in this video.

In this tutorial I'll be demonstrating 2 different ways to convert PNG logos to SVG files using Inkscape. Both of these methods are ideal for beginners and first-time users of Inkscape.
