Extract text from YouiDraw logo images (YLC)
To convert YLC images to another format, you need YouiDraw Logo Creator or other Vector Image software.
To convert other file formats to the "Web Vector Project" file type, you need software like YouiDraw Logo Creator or a similar tool.
The .YLC file is a proprietary project file created by YouiDraw Logo Creator. It stores vector paths, shapes, text layers, and custom visual effects used by web designers to build logos directly within a browser environment.
The main disadvantage of the .YLC format is its strict vendor lock-in. Because it is a proprietary project file, it is not supported by native operating systems, standard web browsers, or professional offline design software like Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape. You cannot share this file with a client or a printer, as they will not be able to open it without a YouiDraw account.
To make your logo usable across different platforms, you must convert the project. The most practical target formats are SVG for lossless vector scaling, PNG for web graphics with transparent backgrounds, or PDF for high-resolution document embedding and printing.
Because this is a closed, proprietary web format, standard online converters fail to process it. Often, only the original YouiDraw application can properly read the internal layer data and export the final image. If our analysis detects supported underlying code or embedded SVG data, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your YLC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert YLC file to SVG, AI, EPS, PDF, JPG, CDR, WMF, EMF, SWF, FLA, XFL or SKETCH, you can use YouiDraw Logo Creator or similar software from the "Logo Design Project File" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert AFPUB, EPS, FIG, VSD, SKETCH, VDX, AFPHOTO, PDF, AFDESIGN, SVG, VSDX or AI files to YLC, try YouiDraw Logo Creator or another comparable tool in the "Logo Design Project File" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our YLC converter.
