Frequently Asked Questions

Is Pixelift better than Vector Magic for logos?
For modern logos with gradients or complex curves, Pixelift's Plus+ tier uses Recraft Premium AI which generally produces cleaner output than Vector Magic's 2007-era algorithm. For pure flat logos with few colors, results are comparable.
Does Pixelift have a desktop app?
No, Pixelift is web-only. If you specifically need offline desktop conversion, Vector Magic Desktop ($295 one-time) remains an option. For most users the web app is faster (no install) and gets updates instantly.
What about additional formats like EPS or AI?
Pixelift currently outputs SVG, PNG, and PDF. EPS and AI formats are on the roadmap for Plus+ tier — message support@pixelift.pl if this blocks your workflow.
