Hi,

Unfortunately there is no way to convert a .jpg (or any other image format) into linework. You will have to trace it.

pdf's can be converted although there are limitations.

@Yashasvi23481 There are 3rd party websites and programs (free and for purchase) that can do a decent job of that, but it swill always look imperfect: but that's also a custom very expensive paid-for artwork that your client SRG global most likely already has vector / font artwork for it all that they can provide you (it my cost them more money but it would be perfectly suited for their needs).

Call them and ask, be insistent: start with their marketing/logo enforcement department/group/person.

Hi All,

I think i found a website for converting image to dxf drawing. The website
to convert is www.convertio.co https://convertio.co/jpg-dxf/

Any image of any format can be converted to dxf. Looks like i found
solution to my own question.

Regards,
Yash

Let us know if it works out for you. Those kinds of conversions usually need rework, especially for CNC,

as @pendean mentioned, oft companies have these in vector formats. This particular company has theirs right on their web page in vector format. See below. Many larger companies can provide you with vector logos and often prefer you use theirs so as not to get it wrong in a bad raster conversion.

I used inkscape to convert svg to dxf

Hi Yash,

If you're looking to convert JPEG to DXF for AutoCAD, you can try using Convertio.co, as you mentioned, or you can also try online tool like image convertor , which can optimize your images before conversion. Another great method is using Inkscape to convert the JPEG to SVG and then to DXF.
