File format: Save your logo as a PNG with transparency enabled.

Background removal: Clean up any edges to avoid artifacts.

Color space: Use RGB for on-screen receipts or CMYK for printed versions.

Contrast check: Test how your logo looks against both light and dark backgrounds.

If transparency isn’t an option, match the background color to the receipt template - usually white - for a polished appearance.

Adding Logos in ReceiptFaker

Where to Find Logo Tools

You’ll find the logo tools in the receipt editor on the left sidebar under the 'Logo' section. This section includes everything you need to upload and adjust your business logo on the receipt template. Follow the steps below to upload and customize your logo.

Steps to Upload Your Logo

Click on 'Upload Logo' in the Logo section.

Choose your logo file (supported formats: PNG, JPG, or GIF) from your computer.

Once uploaded, the logo will appear at the top of the receipt. Resize it using the handles while keeping its proportions.

Drag the logo to your preferred spot on the receipt template.

Tip: Placing your logo in the upper third of the receipt makes it more noticeable and professional.

Ensuring Proper Logo Placement

Here are a few things to check for optimal logo placement:

Alignment: Make sure the logo is centered and has at least 20 pixels of white space around it.

Preview: Use the "Preview" feature to see how the logo looks on the final receipt.

Mobile View: Double-check the mobile view to ensure the logo displays correctly on smaller screens.

If the logo placement isn’t quite right, use the fine-tuning tools in the Logo section to make small adjustments. The grid system in the editor ensures your logo aligns neatly with other elements like business details and transaction information.

Reminder: Always preview your receipt in both digital and print formats before finalizing. The preview feature shows exactly how your logo will look in the exported version.

Logo Display Settings

Make your logo look polished and seamlessly integrated with these tips.

Brightness and Contrast Settings

Tweak brightness and contrast to ensure your logo stands out:

Use the brightness slider to adjust how light or dark your logo appears. For white backgrounds, lower brightness by 10-15%.

Adjust contrast to sharpen edges and enhance clarity.

Boost brightness by up to 20% for better visibility on darker templates.

Pro tip: Always preview your logo in both digital and print formats. Colors and brightness may look different depending on the medium.

Color Matching

Align your logo colors with the receipt's design for a cohesive look:

Use the color temperature tool to match your logo to the receipt's tone.

Adjust saturation to control the intensity of the colors.

Switch to grayscale for a more formal or minimal style.

Set opacity between 85-95% to ensure the logo doesn’t overpower other elements.

The idea is to make your logo noticeable but not overwhelming.

Common Logo Problems and Fixes

Here’s a quick guide to solving frequent logo display issues:

Problem	Cause	Solution
Pixelation	Low-resolution upload	Upload a logo with at least 300 DPI.
Blurry edges	Wrong file format	Use a PNG file with transparency.
Color bleeding	Oversaturated colors	Reduce saturation by 10-20%.
Distortion	Improper scaling	Keep the aspect ratio while resizing.
Faint appearance	Low contrast	Increase contrast by 15-25%.

Make small adjustments and preview after each change to ensure the best results.

Tip: Aim for a balance. Your logo should be easy to see but not dominate the receipt's design.

Saving and Exporting Receipts

Saving Logo Templates
