Providers reject non-conforming files silently. A valid file is the difference between a logo appearing or not.
Mistake 1: Transparent backgrounds, which render unpredictably on dark-mode clients#
Why it hurts: this undermines SVG Tiny PS logo files at the point where mailbox providers make their decision, and it is rarely surfaced by your own tooling until placement drops.
Fix: Export a square SVG with the logo centered and a solid background color.
Mistake 2: Text elements that rely on fonts; convert text to outlines#
Why it hurts: this undermines SVG Tiny PS logo files at the point where mailbox providers make their decision, and it is rarely surfaced by your own tooling until placement drops.
Fix: Set baseProfile="tiny-ps" and version="1.2" on the root svg element.
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.
