A Clearbit Logo API alternative for teams that need usable UI output
The Clearbit Logo API is gone. If you still need company logos in dashboards, tables, CRMs, or browser apps, the real problem is not file access. It's getting a usable result.
The Clearbit Logo API is gone. The harder problem isn't replacing the URL — it's getting a logo that already looks right inside dashboards, tables, CRMs, and browser apps without per-brand grooming.
What changed
Once the old Clearbit endpoint disappeared, teams looking for the fastest drop-in replacement quickly hit the second problem: raw logo assets still arrive with inconsistent whitespace, background treatment, and framing.
Why another logo file source is not enough
Product UI rarely breaks because a logo is missing — it breaks because every logo looks different inside the same table, card, or directory. The last mile matters: padding, crop, background, and browser usage.
What to look for in a replacement
- Background handling — preserve a brand background when it exists, not just transparent-by-default output.
- Consistent framing — every logo should fit predictably inside the same UI slot.
- Browser-safe usage — you should not need a server just to place a logo in an
<img>tag. - Migration speed — a new vendor is only useful if you can test domains and ship quickly.
Where ClearLogo fits
ClearLogo takes a domain and returns a background-aware, auto-cropped, ratio-fit result optimized for visual consistency across product surfaces.

3-step migration
- Test a few representative domains in the playground.
- Choose the URL shape you want for your UI.
- Create a production key and lock its allowed domains down.
FAQ
Is the Clearbit Logo API still available?
No. Teams that relied on it need a replacement that produces consistent, UI-ready output — not just logo retrieval.
How is ClearLogo different from a generic logo file source?
ClearLogo is opinionated about presentation: it returns background-aware, auto-cropped, ratio-fit images so the result looks consistent across an entire UI slot — not just transparent PNGs that still need per-brand grooming.
Can I use ClearLogo directly in <img> tags from frontend code?
Yes. Create a browser key from the dashboard, allow the domains your app runs on, and drop the URL straight into <img> tags. No server-side signing service is required.
How quickly can I migrate?
Most teams test five to ten representative domains in the playground in a few minutes, pick the URL shape, then create a production key.
Start with a few real domains from your current UI
If the output already looks more consistent in your tables and cards, you can move from the playground to a production key in minutes.
