Setup checklist#
- ☐ Export a square SVG with the logo centered and a solid background color.
- ☐ Set baseProfile="tiny-ps" and version="1.2" on the root svg element.
- ☐ Add a <title> element matching your brand name.
- ☐ Remove all script, filter, and external href references, and strip x/y attributes from the root.
- ☐ Validate with a BIMI SVG converter and keep the file under 32 KB.
Audit checklist#
- ☐ Confirm you are not: transparent backgrounds, which render unpredictably on dark-mode clients.
- ☐ Confirm you are not: text elements that rely on fonts; convert text to outlines.
Ongoing monitoring#
- ☐ Weekly: review provider dashboards (Postmaster Tools, SNDS) and bounce logs
- ☐ Monthly: re-run the setup verification after any vendor or DNS change
- ☐ Quarterly: full audit against this checklist
Frequently asked questions#
Why does my SVG fail validation?
Most commonly a missing baseProfile attribute, embedded images, or leftover editor metadata. Run it through a converter that outputs the Tiny PS profile.
