How to prepare logos for PAM
When icons are set to ‘Display in High Definition’ you will need to upload PNG at 2x the expected display size.
For example: Icons uploaded at 48 x 48px will be displayed at 24 x 24px
PAM requires both .SVG and .PNG file logos when uploading an icon or logo.

1. SVG file - This file type is required for the main icon or logo which will be used for Location / Tenant detail cards. If you are using a normal font for your logo, you are required to convert it into a path or outline the stroke. Not doing this will cause your web browser to use a random system font. |

2. 2x .PNG files - This file type is required for the dark and light mode map icon or logo. When dark mode map is active, the icon or logo for dark mode will appear and when light mode is active, the icon or logo for light mode will be shown on the map. Standard map icon size is 24 x 24px maximum(48 x 48px in high definition). If larger size is required for map tenant logos, you can go to ‘Edit Icon Category’ settings and enable oversized icons or logos up to 200 400 x 200px 400px maximum.
