Branding & Template Setup

Set up your clinic logo, Instagram handle, and export template once — it applies to every export automatically.

Overview

Symetri applies your clinic’s branding — logo, Instagram handle, colors, and layout — automatically to every export. Set it up once and it appears on everything you export, including batch exports.

Uploading Your Logo

Go to Settings → Clinic Branding to manage all branding settings.

Logo File Requirements

Requirement	Recommendation
File type	PNG with transparent background
Color	White or light-colored logos show on all templates
Aspect ratio	Horizontal (landscape) logos fit most placements better
Resolution	At least 500px wide

A PNG with transparent background blends cleanly on top of photo content. A white-background JPEG creates a visible white box on your exports.

Uploading Steps

1. Tap Upload Logo.
2. Select the logo file from your Photos library.
3. The logo immediately appears in the live preview — you’ll see it on a sample export card.

Logo Size & Position

Logo Size slider — scales the logo up or down. The live preview updates in real time as you drag.

Vertical Position slider — moves the logo up or down within its placement zone.

Placement selector:

• Top / Bottom — which half of the image the logo sits in
• Left / Center / Right — horizontal alignment

Style	Placement	Size
Subtle corner watermark	Top right or bottom right	25–35%
Centered footer	Bottom center	45–60%
Classic clinical	Bottom left	35–50%

Check your logo placement in all three export formats (4:5, 9:16, 1:1) before batch exporting. A logo positioned for 4:5 may be awkward or clipped in 9:16.

Instagram Handle

1. In Settings → Clinic Branding, tap Instagram Handle.
2. Enter your clinic handle — include or omit the @, Symetri handles both.
3. The handle appears below the logo on every export.

Controlling visibility: In the Template panel of the editor, toggle the handle on or off per export. Turn it off for clinical records, leave it on for social media.

Template Styles

Classic

Clean layout with a subtle border between panels. Branding in a dedicated bar at the bottom. Best for clinical documentation and professional presentations.

Borderless

Photos fill the entire canvas edge to edge. No visible divider. Modern, full-bleed look that performs well on Instagram.

Framed

A styled frame surrounds the entire comparison. Premium editorial feel. Best for marketing content, website, and printed materials.

---

Comparison Layouts

Layout	Best use
Side by Side	Standard split — before left, after right
Top / Bottom	Before on top, after below — works well for vertical framing
Slider (Video)	Animated reveal — best for social engagement

For Eyes and Lips treatment profiles, Symetri automatically uses a Top/Bottom (over/under) layout because side-by-side is too narrow for facial close-ups.

---

Export Formats

Format	Dimensions	Best for
Feed 4:5	1080 × 1350 px	Instagram Feed posts
Story 9:16	1080 × 1920 px	Instagram Stories, Reels, TikTok
Square 1:1	1080 × 1080 px	Facebook, LinkedIn

You can select multiple formats in a single export — Symetri generates all selected sizes at once.

---

Default Background Color

When background removal is enabled, set your preferred default replacement color so every new case starts consistently.

Setting the default: Settings → Clinic Branding → Default Background Color

Background	Best for
White	Clean clinical look
Light Gray	Softer, flattering in most lighting
Gray	Neutral, works across all skin tones
Dark Gray	Dramatic, good for social media close-ups
Black	High contrast, bold social media look

---

Live Preview

Every branding change — logo size, position, handle visibility, template style — shows immediately in the live preview card in the editor’s Template panel.

To see the full export preview:

1. In the editor, tap the Preview mode button (top of editor).
2. This shows exactly what the exported still image will look like, including logo, handle, and template.

Common Branding Mistakes

Logo appears as a white box on the export

The logo file has a white background. Re-export the logo from your designer as a PNG with transparent background.

Logo looks blurry

Source logo is too small (under 300px wide). Get a higher-resolution version from your designer.

Logo is cut off in Story format

A logo placed low in 4:5 may be near the edge in 9:16. Adjust the vertical position slider or move to a more central placement.

Handle appears on clinical records

Toggle the Instagram handle off in the Template panel before exporting clinical documentation.

Branding looks different in batch vs. single export

Single export uses the editor’s current Template settings. Batch export uses Settings. Make sure they match.
