Q. My organization’s logo doesn’t look right when I upload it – how can I make sure that it doesn’t get cut-off?
A: Because you’re uploading your logo to fit within a circle icon on Charity Republic, you’ll need to make sure that you upload either a squared/icon version of your logo, or format your existing logo so that it doesn’t get cut off.
To format your logo, you can utilize a free online editor like Pixlr using these easy steps:
- Ensure that you have a saved copy of your logo on your desktop
- Navigate to the Pixlr editor here and select ‘Create new image’
- Set the values in both the ‘Width’ and the ‘Height’ boxes to 1000 then select ‘OK’
- Along the top navigation bar, select ‘Layer’ and then choose ‘Open image as layer’ from the drop down that appears
- If your logo appears centered on the canvas with plenty of white space around it, you can select ‘File’ and then ‘Save’ from the top navigation bar and upload it to Charity Republic as normal
- If your logo appears on the white space but is too big with little to no white space around it, select ‘Edit’ and then ‘Free Transform’ from the top navigation bar to manipulate the size of your logo
- Once the logo is centered on the canvas with plenty of surrounding white space, follow the steps above to save your new logo to your desktop and upload it to Charity Republic
NOTE: If you have access to a photo editor such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP (a GNU Manipulation Program), you can follow these similar steps utilizing your personal desktop software if you prefer.
