Format for 1Password Company Logos

One subtle improvement that could be made to 1Password, would be to supply stock company logos, by default, that are in a hi-res (i.e. 500 x 500 px) format. The provided  logos also need to be PNG's with a transparent background so that they will support both light and dark modes.

Btw, I have about a 150 such company logos that I have resized and optimized for use with 1Password. Is there some way that I could upload these logos to the 1Password development team?

    We file a separate update request for each icon you submit and then it will go into review. It would be helpful to submit the icons that need updating vs a bulk folder. Please ensure you include the URL with each icon. Each request is manual and may take time to complete.

  • Hello GingerBLindsey! 👋

    Welcome to the community! Just to clarify, are you referring to logos for other websites that show up when you save a Login item in 1Password for those websites:


    1Password has a rich icons database that will provide a rich icon for most websites (especially if they're popular). Are the 150 company logos that you've collected for websites that you don't see 1Password automatically provide an icon for?

      Hi, Dave,

      You had asked for clarification regarding the logos to which I am referring. You are correct in saying that they are the ones for the external  websites that one accesses within 1Password.

      Now I will  check out your rich icons database, but I am afraid that no one is going to get rich mining it - pun intended! No offence intended, but most of the stock icons offered within 1Password do not reflect the same  attention to detail and quality as the rest of the app. They either are lo-res, so they look fuzzy on hi-res phones and monitors, or they are woefully out-of-date (i.e. companies do periodically update their logos) or they are formatted improperly. They need to be) to be of a sufficient size ( i.e. 500 x500 pxixels) and  be PNGs rather than JPEGs.

      A JPEG is simply not going to work well in the dark mode because jpegs do not allow for transparency. If one wants  interesting, high-quality icons that  work well in both light and dark modes, they are going to have to be formatted as PNG's. Otherwise, we are limited to boring box-shaped icons surrounded by a lot of bright white space, and these icons are an eyesore on a dark background and produce eye strain.

      So, to answer your other question, of my roughly 150 icons, many of them are just replacement icons for those that install automatically with 1Password. Others are ones I have had to find or create for myself because they were not available in 1Password.

      And yes, I do realize, Dave, that not everyone cares whether the app looks as good as it functions. But there really is no reason that your app can not be both beautiful and functional. And I don't really mind scouting out good icons for it because it is without question, my most frequently used app and the one app that I am most inclined to recommend to friends.

        Thank you for the reply. The team always makes the attempt to find the highest quality possible icon to add to the rich icons database that is used to automatically populate icons for items saved in 1Password. Sometimes there are older icons that do need to be updated from time to time. 

        The team would be happy to take a look and update our rich icons database as needed. Please send an email to support@1Password.com and include the following:

        • A link to this thread.
        • A list of websites that you've identified as missing icons or showing an outdated icon in 1Password.


        After emailing in, you'll receive a reply from BitBot, our friendly robot assistant with a Support ID that looks something like [#ABC-12345-678]. Post that here, and I'll be able to locate your message and make sure it's gotten to the right place.
