Logo to Notion Icon: Turn Your Logo Into a Square Icon
Use your logo as a Notion workspace or page icon. Make a crisp square PNG in seconds, on-device with nothing uploaded — plus the dark-mode catch to avoid.
Logo to Notion Icon: Turn Your Logo Into a Square Icon
You're setting up a Notion workspace or a top-level page, and you want your logo as the icon instead of an emoji. Notion takes a square image and shows it small — in the sidebar, the workspace switcher, and at the top of the page.
There's no strict size requirement, so the only real job is a clean square that stays crisp when Notion shrinks it. A 256×256 or 512×512 square PNG covers everywhere the icon appears. Autocropper makes that from your logo, in your browser, with nothing uploaded to a server.

What Notion needs
| Requirement | Value |
|---|---|
| Shape | Square (1:1) |
| Size | No strict minimum; 256×256 or 512×512 is plenty |
| Format | PNG (transparent works — see the catch below) |
| Where it shows | Sidebar, workspace switcher, page header — always small |
Notion displays the icon square, so upload a square: anything important near the edges won't get cut.
Make it from your logo in three steps
- Drop your logo in. The tool finds the mark and trims the dead space around it, so a logo with heavy padding fills the square instead of sitting tiny in the middle — which matters when Notion is already shrinking it.
- Take the 256 or 512 square. Pick either from the size ladder. Each is downscaled with Lanczos-4 resampling, so it stays sharp at the small sizes Notion actually renders instead of going soft.
- Download, then upload to Notion. In Notion, click the page or workspace icon, choose Upload, and drop the PNG in.
The dark-mode catch
Autocropper outputs a transparent PNG. Notion has both a light and a dark theme, and a transparent icon takes on whatever background is behind it. A dark logo on transparency disappears in dark mode; a light logo disappears in light mode.
If your mark needs to read in both themes, put it on a solid square — your brand color, or a neutral that holds up light and dark — so it's visible either way. If you only ever use one theme, transparent is fine.
The tool works on logos and graphic marks on flat backgrounds, not photos, and it produces squares only — exactly right for a Notion icon, though not for a cover image or banner.
Do it now
Drag your logo into the tool at the top of this page and take the 256 or 512 square. The free tier does 5 logos a day with every preset size and a ZIP export — enough for a workspace icon and a matching favicon in one sitting. If you're icon-ing up a stack of workspaces, or need a size outside the preset ladder, Pro (5 CHF/month) removes the daily limit and adds custom sizes.
Bottom line
Notion wants a square, and it renders small. Make a clean 256 or 512 square from your logo, drop it on a solid background if you switch between light and dark, and upload it as your page or workspace icon.
FAQ
What size should a Notion icon be? Notion doesn't publish a hard minimum — it accepts a square image and displays it small. A 256×256 or 512×512 square PNG is more than enough and stays crisp everywhere it appears.
Can I use a transparent PNG as a Notion icon? Yes, but it may disappear in one theme: a dark logo vanishes in dark mode, a light logo in light mode. Put the mark on a solid background if it needs to read in both.
Does Notion crop my icon? It shows the icon square. Upload a square so nothing near the edges gets cut off.
Can I use my logo instead of an emoji? Yes — click the icon, choose Upload, and use a custom image. A square PNG of your logo is exactly what it expects.
