How to Extract and Download Logos from Any Website
We've all been there: you are building a pitch deck, creating a "Trusted By" section for your startup, or designing a partnership banner, and you need a company's logo.
still available?
The amateur move is to take a screenshot of their website. This results in a blurry, pixelated image with a background color you don't want. The professional move is to extract the actual high-resolution SVG or PNG logo directly from their website's source code.
Here are the three best ways to extract logos from any website.
Method 1: The Right-Click (Works 20% of the time)
Sometimes, you get lucky. The website uses a standard <img src="logo.png"> tag.
- Hover over the logo.
- Right-click and select Save Image As...
- Done.
Why this usually fails: Modern websites rarely use standard image tags for their main logo. They use inline SVGs (for crisp scaling) or background images set via CSS, which disable the right-click save function.
Method 2: Inspect Element (The Developer Way)
If right-clicking doesn't work, you have to dig into the code.
- Right-click the logo and select Inspect.
- This opens the Chrome Developer Tools. Look at the highlighted code.
- If it's an
<svg>, right-click the<svg>node, select Copy -> Copy outerHTML, and paste it into a blank text file. Save it aslogo.svg. - If it's a CSS background image, look at the Styles pane, find the
background-image: url(...)property, click the link, and save that image.
Why this is annoying: It takes time, especially if the site has complex markup or the logo is broken into multiple SVG paths.
Method 3: Use an Automated Logo Extractor (The Best Way)
Why dig through code when software can do it for you? We built a free Website Logo Extractor that does all the heavy lifting.
- Go to the Logo Extractor.
- Type in the website URL (e.g.,
apple.com). - The tool instantly scans the site's metadata, OpenGraph tags, Apple Touch icons, and inline SVGs.
- It displays all the logos it found. Just click download.
This is the fastest way to guarantee you get the highest resolution, transparent-background logo available on the site.
A Warning on Usage
Just because you can extract a logo doesn't mean you own it. Logos are protected by trademark law. You can safely use extracted logos for:
- Internal mockups and pitch decks.
- Competitor analysis.
- Linking to a partner (with permission).
You cannot use another company's logo to pretend you are affiliated with them or to sell competing products.
If you're here because you're gathering reference for a logo of your own rather than analysing a competitor, start with our guide to making a logo for your brand name — it covers what to decide before you open a design tool, and which file formats you actually need.
