For your customers
The check works better before the file is sent than after
Most of what goes wrong with a customer’s logo is decided before it reaches you. By the time it is on your desk the background has already been cut off badly, the letter holes are already filled in, and the only remedy left is an email asking for something better.
Answer these once and you get a link. Send it to a customer and they check their own file, in their own browser, against what you need — with your name at the top of it and nothing about us in front of them.
It is the heading your customer sees. Nothing else on this page identifies you.
How do you decorate?
Item colour
Every one of these is yours and every one can be left blank. A blank field is measured and nothing is judged against it — this page publishes no minimum of its own, and the numbers it does show below are somebody else’s, printed beside the box rather than in it.
Your link
Put your shop’s name in and the link appears here.

Your answers travel in the link, not to us
Everything you enter above is encoded into the part of the link after the #. A browser never sends that part to a server — it is the one piece of a web address that stays on the machine. So your working numbers are not stored here, not logged here, and there is nothing for us to lose or hand over.
It also means there is no sign-up and no record to keep current. The link is the record. Change a number and you make a new one.
Their file is read on their own computer
The page your customer opens does the same work as the check on this site, which is to say all of it in the browser. Their artwork is not uploaded, and the route it runs on carries a policy that stops the page opening a connection at all — not as a promise, but as something the browser refuses to let us break.
That is worth saying to them plainly. People are reasonably wary of dropping a file they do not own onto a site they have not heard of.
It asks them the one question nobody else can answer
Removing a background fills the gaps inside letters with whatever the logo was sitting on. What comes out is a solid shape, and no rule separates it from a piece of the mark that is genuinely that colour — a hole in a P and a white letter are the same picture.
Everyone in the chain has been guessing at that, including you. The person who owns the logo is not guessing, and this is the only point in the job where they are holding it.
What it does not do
It publishes no minimum of its own. Every number in the link is one you typed, a blank one stays blank, and a quantity with nothing beside it is measured and reported without a verdict. Where figures from a manufacturer exist they are shown next to the box and never inside it.
It also does not open PDF, Illustrator or EPS files, which are a large share of what gets sent. That is the honest gap, and it is the same gap the check on this site has.
