How to Convert Your SVG Logo to Tiny PS Format for Use in Verified Mark Certificates

Step 1: Convert SVG trademark image to SVG 1.2 with square aspect ratio using Adobe Illustrator. 

Step 2: Convert SVG trademark image to Tiny PS format. 

Step 3: Verify trademark image


 

Step 1: Convert SVG trademark image to SVG 1.2 with square aspect ratio using Adobe Illustrator. 

Using Adobe Illustrator, you can convert your SVG 1.0 or 1.1 to SVG 1.2 format. To ensure that the trademark image has a square aspect ratio, the height/width of the SVG image (artboard in Illustrator) must be same. The following steps show how to achieve this in Illustrator. 

1. Select "Edit Artboards" in the "Properties" tab

Saving the SVG image 

After the logo is ready, the image must be saved as SVG format with SVG Tiny profile.  

1. Select File > Save As

Step 2: Convert SVG trademark image to Tiny-PS format. 

The BIMI group has released an SVG conversion tool that can convert SVG Tiny 1.2 file format to SVG Tiny PS. Download the tool from one of the links below.
