Dimensions & Resolution
Google's official recommended resolution for all Business Profile photos

Important Notes
The logo appears next to your business name in Google Search results and Maps. Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) highlights the logo for businesses that have complete basic information (name, address, phone number, hours). The logo should be a square image (1:1 aspect ratio) at a minimum of 250×250 pixels, though Google recommends 720×720 pixels for best quality. The logo is distinct from the profile photo — the logo represents your brand while the profile photo represents your physical business. On some Google surfaces, the logo may display with circular masking, so keep important elements centered and away from edges.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size should a Google Business Profile logo be?
Google recommends 720×720 pixels in square (1:1) format. The minimum is 250×250 pixels. Use JPG or PNG format, with a file size between 10 KB and 5 MB. For maximum clarity, upload at 1200×1200 pixels.
Why is my Google Business Profile logo not showing?
The logo only appears when your Business Profile has complete basic information including name, valid address, categories, phone number, and opening hours. Ensure all fields are filled out. Logo processing may also take 24–48 hours after upload.
What is the difference between a logo and a profile photo on Google Business Profile?
The logo represents your brand identity (company logo, wordmark) and appears next to your business name in search results. The profile photo represents your physical business (storefront, team photo) and appears in Maps and review responses. Both are square (1:1) at 720×720px recommended.
Can I use a transparent background for my GBP logo?
Yes, if you upload in PNG format. Transparent backgrounds can help your logo blend seamlessly into Google's interface. However, ensure the logo is still clearly visible against both white and dark backgrounds.
