Question 1

What is ClearLogo?

Accepted Answer

ClearLogo is a logo API. One GET request — api.clearlogo.dev/logo/stripe.com — returns a clean, background-aware, ratio-fit image of any company's logo. It's built for presentation, so logos from different companies look consistent inside dashboards, CRMs, and company tables.

Question 2

How do I use it — do I need a backend?

Accepted Answer

There's no backend, SDK, or image pipeline to set up. Drop the URL straight into an <img> tag and you're done. Modern browsers automatically receive an optimized WebP; everywhere else you get a PNG.

Question 3

Why not just use a favicon or grab the logo myself?

Accepted Answer

Favicons are tiny, inconsistent, and often the wrong shape. ClearLogo auto-crops each logo, trims empty padding, fits it to a square ratio, and serves light and dark variants — so a grid of fifty companies lines up cleanly instead of looking mismatched.

Question 4

Do I need an account or API key?

Accepted Answer

Not to try it — anonymous requests work immediately for low-volume use. For production, create a free key: a browser key for frontend <img> tags, or a server key for your backend. No credit card required.

Question 5

What can I customize?

Accepted Answer

Request any square size up to 1024px, control how much of the canvas the logo fills, and choose a light or dark variant. Every option is available on every plan, including the free tier.

Question 6

Is it free, and can I use the logos commercially?

Accepted Answer

Yes to both. There's a free tier with no credit card, and no forced watermark or attribution on any plan. Logos remain the trademarks of their respective owners, so you're responsible for using them in line with each brand's guidelines.
