A low-resolution raster logo can sometimes be enlarged with an AI upscaler and still look good in a large-format print, especially when the display will be viewed from a distance. But upscaling doesn&#8217;t turn a raster image into a vector file. It adds pixel information that helps the image look better at a larger size.<\/p><p data-lfile-container=\"03502015-682e-4079-bfe9-64830fd8b430\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Whether it works depends on a few things:<\/p><ul><li>Quality of the original file<\/li><li>Amount of compression it&#8217;s already been through<\/li><li>Complexity of the logo (fine detail vs. simple shapes)<\/li><li>Finished print dimensions<\/li><li>Expected viewing distance<\/li><li>Which upscaling method is used<\/li><li>Whether the process changes any important brand details<\/li><\/ul><p>Because so much depends on these factors, the first step isn&#8217;t opening an upscaler.
