How to I increase the size of my logo and make it bigger?

[Note: The title of this post has been updated by a moderator.]

I have uploaded my logo as a .png but it won't let me enlarge it.  Every time I edit the logo and drag it outwards to enlarge, the image size in the top RH corner of the page shows the logo size is increasing but when I click Save it just springs back and reverts to its previous tiny size - hardly visible!

It sounds like you're using a theme which has the site logo in the navigation bar.  These themes will keep the size of the image within certain bounds to prevent it from breaking the display.  We do have themes which have the logo separate from the site navigation, and it you switch to one of those it should work how you want it.

As far as increasing the logo size with CSS changes, it is possible to do that though it will be specific to the theme. For example, there's a thread on increasing the logo size with Birdseye.

If you have the Square Online editor, you can adjust the size by clicking on your header, clicking on logo on the left, then using the slider to change the size.

I could not agree more.  I builds hundreds of websites for businesses (Hotels) and their staple is their logo.  Weebly doesn't offer much for the largest branding piece on a website (a logo).

This is a CONSTANT frustration to me. Almost making me abandon Weebly as my platform for my clients. This just annoys me to no end. Smiley Sad

Adam: Would you please list the themes which have the logo separate from the site navigation?  It would save a tremendous amount of time compared to trial and error.

There's a max height for the logo in most mobile themes so that it fits within the tab navigation bar. I think the easiest way to get what you want is to hide the logo, then add it to the header area as an image to each of your pages. This should keep it large on mobile and desktop. You could even add an additional section to the page with a white background right at the top, so it's visually separated from your header.

It would be responsive, yes, although I don't think you could add it above your navigation unless it was a theme which already had a header area above the site navigation (without heavy-duty theme customization, anyway).

Hello Jen! It looks like the logo is currently above the navigation bar, as usual for the theme. What sort of effect were you looking to create?

Hi Jen, how did you end up making your logo larger. This is driving me nuts...already trying two themes...about to go to another supplier.

Thanks for any help.

Hi, I'm using Haberdasher and my logo is about 3 sq cm in area. Waaay too small. Our logo is a circle, which is largely contributing to the problem. Please code into your site designer a way to better fit the logo. Otherwise, I think your site editor is great. Site is www.piefferslandscaping.com

I'm also having the same problem using Southcorner - Haberdasher.

It seems like a bug to me as the image on the sample template isn't tiny:

Hello WildC! It looks like the logo is filling the vertical space normally. Are you still seeing any issues?

Hello umer! It looks like you're using a theme that constrains the logo to the size of the navigation bar. Have you tried using the earlier listed themes to allow for more logo space?

I've been playing around with the same issue.  Here's what worked for me with the Haberdasher theme:

  1. Select THEME and at the bottom left click Edit HTML/CSS
  2. Open main.less under Styles
  3. Starting at line 216 look for 
    .header-wrap #logo img {
      display: block;
      overflow: hidden;
      max-width: 200px;
      max-height: 40px;
    }
    You'll want to change max-height: 40px; to something like max-height: 120px;
  4. Starting at line 226 look for 
    .header-wrap #logo img {
      max-height: 40px;
    }
    You'll want to change max-height: 40px; to something like max-height: 120px;
  5. SAVE
  6. If things still look wonky, you may need to upload your logo image again. I've found that Weebly plays best with images at 72 dpi resolution.
