What SVG Tiny PS logo files are#

SVG Tiny 1.2 Portable/Secure is the restricted SVG profile required by BIMI. It forbids scripts, external references, and embedded raster images, and requires a <title> element and baseProfile="tiny-ps".

Why it matters#

Providers reject non-conforming files silently. A valid file is the difference between a logo appearing or not.

Getting started#

  1. Export a square SVG with the logo centered and a solid background color.
  2. Set baseProfile="tiny-ps" and version="1.2" on the root svg element.
  3. Add a <title> element matching your brand name.
  4. Remove all script, filter, and external href references, and strip x/y attributes from the root.
  5. Validate with a BIMI SVG converter and keep the file under 32 KB.

Common mistakes#

  • Transparent backgrounds, which render unpredictably on dark-mode clients.
  • Text elements that rely on fonts; convert text to outlines.

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.
