BIMI logo requirements (SVG Tiny PS)

Short answer

A BIMI logo must be SVG Tiny Portable/Secure (SVG Tiny PS), square (1:1), with a solid background, a title, no scripts or external references, and served over HTTPS. A PNG, a non-square image, or a full SVG profile will not display. Gmail and Apple also require a VMC.

The format rules

Use the restricted SVG Tiny PS profile — no scripts, animation, or external links. Make it square with a solid (non-transparent) background, include a <title>, and keep the file small. Host it over HTTPS and reference it in the l= tag of your BIMI record.

Common mistakes

Exporting a standard SVG (wrong profile), a transparent or rectangular logo, or linking an image that isn’t HTTPS. Convert your trademarked logo to SVG Tiny PS specifically.
