QuickBooks Online doesn't require an exact pixel size for your invoice logo, but a few practical guidelines will keep it sharp and correctly proportioned.

File requirements

Accepted formats: .gif, .bmp, .png, .jpg, .jpe, or .jpeg
Maximum file size: 10 MB
Colour mode: standard RGB, 24-bit colour depth or less

If your logo is in CMYK (common for print designs), convert it to RGB first using a tool like Photoshop. CMYK files won't display correctly.

Recommended sizing approach

Use a square or near-square aspect ratio where possible.This is what QuickBooks Online is optimised to display well on invoice templates.

How to add or update your logo:

Go to the Gear icon.
Select Custom Form Styles.
Find your invoice template and select Edit.
Under the Design tab, select Make logo edits.
Select the + icon and choose your file.
Select Save, then Done.

Hello there, @alex.heath.light.

You can add a logo to your invoice from the Custom form style page.

Here's how:

Go to the Gear icon.
Choose Custom Form Styles from the pop-up window.
Locate the invoice template and hit Edit under the Action column.
Under the Design tab, hit the Make logo Edits section.
Click the Plus sign icon and select the file.
Hit Save, then Done.

In the meantime, once you change the file type of your logo, and upload it again. I'd suggest reaching out to your IT personnel or the one who creates the logo. They know how to manage it.

I'm adding articles for more details about logo and transaction templates:

Thanks, however you haven't read the question. I am up to speed with how to place a logo, manipulate it in QB.

What I want to know is the best size pixel by pixel the image should be. Reason being that if designed to the wrong size the logo will be unusable on an invoice; either blurred and pixelated or way too detailed.

What is the best width and height of "canvas size" should the designer I'm employing use when they are creating my new logo.

Thanks for the clarification, alex.heath.light.

I cannot tell the specific size pixel by pixel of the logo. Though QuickBooks recommends using square-shaped. Other than that, the system will not allow the logo to use in QuickBooks.

Aside from sizes, below are recommended when adding a logo to sales forms in QuickBooks Online. It's all based on our articles that guide you on how to input a logo in your book. Here are the lists:

a .gif, .bmp, .png, .jpg, .jpe, or .jpeg file
smaller than 10 MB
24-bits or less in bit depth (or colour depth)
using the standard RGB colour spaceNote: If your logo is CMKY-formatted, convert it into an RGB image using tools (such as Adobe Photoshop) before you upload it to QuickBooks Online.

Please let me know if you have other questions about managing the logo in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Take care! Thanks!

Someone needs to be able to answer this question. There is certainly an optimal size for image clarity and for the appropriate dimensions, it's 2022, this stuff is important to business! QB needs to offer companies the ability to create high quality and effectively branded company documents! Please someone find out the correct dimensions and quality needed here!!!
