Site logos help create brand recognition through your website's header. Here's how to add and manage your logo effectively:

Preparing Your Logo

  • Use high-quality images to prevent pixelation
  • Supported formats: .jpg, .gif, or .png
  • For text-based logos, use .png with transparent background
  • No specific dimensions required, but check template guidelines
  • Size should match desired display height

Adding Your Logo

  1. Via Desktop:
  • Click "Edit" in top-left corner
  • Hover over header, select "Edit Site Header"
  • Click site title/logo, then pencil icon
  • Choose "+ Upload File" or "Select From Library"
  • Adjust height settings for desktop and mobile
  • Save changes
  1. Via Mobile App:
  • Tap More > Design > Logo & Title
  • Select "Add image"
  • Choose from camera, photo library, or files
  • Save changes

Logo Display Tips

  • Always links to homepage
  • Replaces site title text
  • Position varies by template
  • Adjustable size (template-specific limits apply)
  • Mobile display may differ from desktop

Important Considerations

  • Set your site title before adding logo (improves SEO)
  • Keep site title in settings even with logo image
  • Can't display both logo and site title simultaneously
  • Logo text isn't searchable by engines
  • Custom redirect requires advanced coding

Removing Your Logo

  1. Desktop:
  • Enter header editor
  • Click logo and pencil icon
  • Select "Remove" from options menu
  • Save changes
  1. Mobile:
  • Navigate to Logo & Title settings
  • Tap "Remove" under image
  • Save changes

Your site title will reappear automatically after logo removal.

For optimal results, ensure your logo aligns with your template's specifications and maintains visual clarity across all devices.
