Image Format
Before uploading the logo, we need to make sure that we have the proper format for the logo image. Here are the requirements:
- The image needs to be in PNG format
- There must be no background on the image or the background must be transparent.
Converting a JPEG and removing the background image using MacOs:
- Right-click on the image and select open with "preview.app".
- Use the "markup" option.
- Select the "Instant Alpha" tool, which looks like a magic wand.
- Click and drag over the background, and once it selects the core of the logo, press "Delete" on your keyboard.
- If the image is in JPEG format, it will ask if you want to convert it to PNG, which is perfect since that's the required format.
- That will automatically save the image as a PNG without a background, which will leave it ready to upload in Schoolrunner.
Converting a JPEG and removing the background image using Windows:
- Open the image using the custom Picture app from Windows.
- Click on "edit".
- Click on the "background" tool.
- Select the "remove" background option (usually the middle one).
- Save a copy as a PNG.
- The image will be ready for upload in Schoolrunner.
Uploading the image in Schoolrunner for report cards
- A user with the "Edit App Settings" permission in Schoolrunner can upload the logo once it's in PNG and without the background.
- The user must go to Setup > Settings > Click on "Expand all" > Search for "Logo" > Click on Edit on the desired schools column to upload the logo.
- It will prompt you to select a file from your file manager and make the upload.
- Once the upload is ready, click on Save.
The Report Cards will now show the logo successfully.
