XIV Frame treats a logo as an overlay layer. A transparent PNG is the best choice because only the artwork is placed over the screenshot; a JPG or a logo with a white background may show an unwanted rectangle.
1. Prepare the logo
- Use a transparent PNG when possible.
- The file-selection limit is 10MB. The resized data is checked too, so a lightweight transparent PNG is recommended instead of a large photo.
- Crop unnecessary empty space around the artwork before uploading. Extra padding makes the logo appear farther from the canvas edge.
2. Open Logo Upload
- Upload a screenshot first so the result is visible.
- Open Signature on desktop or Signature in the mobile bottom navigation.
- Select the Logo Upload tab.
- Click Upload Logo Image and choose the file.
- If the file cannot be read, choose a PNG or JPG again and check that the logo file is 10MB or smaller.
3. Choose a position
- Use the nine-position grid: top left, top center, top right, middle left, center, middle right, bottom left, bottom center, or bottom right.
- Start with a corner that has empty space in the screenshot.
- Move the logo to another corner when it covers a face, weapon, or outfit detail.
4. Tune scale and opacity
- Adjust Size from 10% to 200%. Start small and increase it only until the mark is easy to recognize.
- Adjust Opacity from 0% to 100%.
- Use full opacity for a clear Free Company mark. Use a lower value when the logo is only a subtle decoration.
- Check transparent edges at the final preview size; thin lines can disappear when the logo is too small.
5. Combine it with a text signature
- Switch to Text and enter a character name or server label if needed.
- Place the text and logo in different areas so they do not compete for the same corner.
- If the canvas feels crowded, reduce the logo size or opacity before moving the main signature.
6. Replace or remove the logo
- Upload a different file from the logo upload area when you want to replace the current mark.
- Use Delete Logo to remove the logo while keeping the screenshot and text settings.
- Removing the logo does not delete the uploaded screenshots.
7. Export
- Check the logo edge, transparency, and overlap with the subject.
- Click Export PNG on desktop or use Export → Save Photo on mobile.
- If you chose a transparent canvas background, inspect the downloaded PNG to confirm that the area outside the composition remains transparent.
- PNG is preferred, but an opaque result over 5 MB is automatically downloaded as a high-quality JPEG. If a transparent PNG cannot fit under 5 MB, the editor shows guidance instead of downloading it.
