THE SHORT ANSWER
Keep the original logo or design file if you have it, along with a viewable reference. Vector artwork is useful for scalable lettering and shapes. Raster images need review at the intended output size; a PDF can contain either kind of content.
Two kinds of artwork. Different strengths.
Vector artwork describes shapes and paths rather than a fixed grid of pixels. That makes it useful for logos and lettering that need to work at different sizes. A JPEG or PNG is a raster image: enlarging it beyond the available detail can reveal blur or pixelation.
Photographs are naturally pixel-based. The goal is to preserve suitable source material, not turn every photograph into a vector or rename a small image to make it larger.
| File or source | What to know |
|---|---|
| Original design file | Keep the editable original and identify the software used. |
| May contain vector shapes, raster images, or a mixture. The extension alone does not prove quality. | |
| PNG, JPEG or WebP | Useful image references; suitability depends on actual pixel detail and intended size. |
On a small screen, scroll sideways to compare all columns.
Keep the details that matter.
Ask the person who made your logo for the original artwork and a viewable copy. Share exact spelling and capitalization, brand-color references and any versions that should not be changed. A screenshot is helpful context, but keep looking for the original if it is available.
Tell Finuf the intended width and height before creating a new export. Ask what pixel dimensions or file preparation are appropriate for that output. Changing the resolution label on a small image does not recover detail that was never there.
Use the Sign Lab for exploring, not file delivery.
The browser-only Sign Lab accepts PNG, JPEG and WebP images up to 5 MB. It does not accept PDF or SVG uploads. The selected image stays in your browser; it is not uploaded, emailed or delivered to Finuf.
Your logo keeps its original proportions and colors by default. The optional single-color silhouette is available only for suitable transparent artwork. Neither treatment is a production-ready conversion or a replacement for reviewing the source file.
Make the real handoff simple.
Keep your source artwork together and call Finuf to agree on the practical way to provide it. A saved Sign Lab brief can explain the direction you like, but its download does not attach your locally selected logo.
- Original artwork plus a clearly named reference copy.
- Exact wording and known brand-color references.
- Approximate finished size and intended location.
- A note explaining which elements must stay unchanged.
A LITTLE MORE CLARITY.
Good questions.
Useful answers.
Does saving a JPEG as a PDF turn it into vector artwork?
No. A PDF can carry a raster image without converting it to vector shapes. Finuf needs to review the contents, not just the filename.
Can I send production artwork through the Sign Lab?
No. Its PNG, JPEG and WebP selection is a local visual preview only. Keep your source files and contact Finuf to arrange the actual artwork handoff.

Manufacturer and industry guidance can add context. The final sign still needs its own material, site and scope review.
