3 Steps to Change Logo in Magento 2

Step 1: Uploading Your Logo

The size and location of the logo in the header is determined by the store’s theme. Your logo can be saved as either a GIF, PNG, JPG, or SVG file type, and uploaded from the Admin of your store. The default Magento logo in the sample data is an SVG file, which is a scalable XML-based vector graphic format.

Uploading Your Logo

The logo image resides in the following location on the server. Any image file with by that name and at that location is used as the theme logo.

Path: app/design/frontend/[vendor]/[theme]/web/images/logo.svg

If you don’t know the size of the logo, or any other image that is used in your theme, open the page in a browser, right-click the image, and inspect the element.

In addition to the logo in the header, your logo also appears on email templates and on PDF invoices and other sales documents. The logos used for email templates and invoices have different size requirements, and must be uploaded separately.
