What is the recommended map marker size?

Best practices for custom map markers: file format, dimensions, and how to upload them.

You can use any image as a custom map marker, including your logo, a custom icon, or any design you want.

Recommended specs

  • Format: PNG with a transparent background works best

  • Size: 500 x 500 pixels (StoreRocket will scale it down for the map)

  • File size: Under 1MB

  • SVG files are also supported if you prefer vector graphics

Square images work best since markers are displayed at a small size on the map. Avoid very detailed images because they won't be readable at marker size.

How to upload a custom marker

  1. Go to Markers in your dashboard

  2. Click Create Marker

  3. Upload your image

  4. Save

You can set one marker as the default for all locations, or assign different markers to different locations.

Tips

  • Use a simple, bold design that's recognizable at small sizes

  • Add a slight drop shadow or border to help it stand out on the map

  • Test how it looks zoomed in and zoomed out

  • If using a logo, a simplified version (icon only, no text) usually works better
