Also split up the resize button to be me more understandable. - Author: Kyra - Tags: Simply Customize It!, App Update, Update, MacOS, iOS, Apple, #notHomepage, #Not Show On My Blog Just released for distribution on both iOS and macOS! ## Reason for Update A bit ago I heard worry online about the new reMarkable update to software version 3.16 so I decided to join the beta program so I could determine what the fuss was about and what may be needed to keep Simply Customize It working. With my reMarkable updated, a new device created in my app, and a quick button click on *import* I quickly realized that although the templates were added to the app none of them had images set. After connecting to my reMarkable through the terminal I realized that the templates were only using `SVG` image files and there were no longer any `PNG` images present in the `templates` directory. Previously it used both `SVG` and `PNG` image files. ## Aside: What About Our PNG Images? A while back, while I was first working with custom templates on my reMarkable, I wondered which of the two associated image files (`SVG` or `PNG`) were emailed out when exporting a custom template page from a notebook. As such, I [created a test](https://www.simplykyra.com/blog/which-version-of-the-remarkables-templates-are-emailed-out/) and later, when I realized I was getting different results, I rerun [the test](https://www.simplykyra.com/blog/update-which-version-of-the-remarkables-templates-are-emailed-out/). With the `SVG` images gone I decided to rerun this test one more time. ![Collage of the resulting pdf, png, and svg files.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2024/11/compressed_Imape-.png) To do this test I create three custom templates where one has obviously different images for the `SVG` and `PNG` images, another with only the `SVG` image, and another with only the `PNG`. After uploading them I set three notebook pages to these template and see how they display in the notebook and when exported as a `PDF`, `PNG`, and `SVG` files. These images were the result. And I got the same results as the second time! Thus if you create a template with an `SVG` set it will display the `SVG` image. If you don't set an `SVG` and only set a `PNG` the `PNG` image will be shown. As such, if you have custom `PNG` templates you love it seems like, at least as of version 3.16, you can still use them. ![SVG image files are displayed in all cases unless they can't be found in which case it uses the PNG image. ](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2024/11/compressed_reMarkable-Templates---v3.16.png) The results were the same for both the reMarkable Paper Pro and reMarkable 2 running 3.16. [Update: Which Version of the reMarkable’s Templates Are Emailed Out?Back during the summer of 2022 I tested which image type was used when you export or view a reMarkable notebook page. Recently, I redid the experiment and found the results had changed. Here they are!![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/icon/Favicon_Transparent_60-18.png)Simply KyraKyra![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/thumbnail/compressed_Copy-of-Which-Version-of-the-reMarkable-s-Templates-Are-Emailed-Out----Graph-1.png)](https://www.simplykyra.com/blog/update-which-version-of-the-remarkables-templates-are-emailed-out/) If you want more information about my process and results you can check the second time I ran this test, with the same results as this time, here. ## The Update To help you navigate this update I have added `SVG` support to the app. This means when you create a template you can set an `SVG` image, a `PNG` image, or both to the same template. ![Image shows the affected part of the macOS app with both the PNG and SVG sections showing.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2024/11/compressed_Simply-Customize-It-SVG-Support---Image3.png) While adding this support I also added text to help you that displays the dimensions of the uploaded image. On iOS, not available on macOS, you can resize your `PNG` image. This isn't available for the `SVG` images but I'm mentioning it now as you can now choose just how to resize your `PNG` images. The difference between these only affects you if the ratio of your image is different than the target reMarkable screen size but essentially the *Center Crop* removes any excess while the *Resize to Fit* instead squishes it to match the target size. ![Here the Solid Black template is shown on the iOS highlighting the difference between the two image formats.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2024/11/compressed_Simply-Customize-It-SVG-Support---Image.png) The image editors, once you click on the *Edit* button, also look different with the `SVG` on both devices and the `PNG` on the Mac showing only the file dialog while the `PNG` on iOS also includes photos and camera. Additionally, only a `PNG` image can rotate. ![MacOS popup on the center and the iOS versions on the left and right. ](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2024/11/compressed_Simply-Customize-It-SVG-Support---Image2-1.png) Since the reMarkable is defaulting to SVG images I now also default to showing the `SVG` image in the browse and other display areas. If you don’t have an `SVG` image set it will show your `PNG` image instead and if neither is set the default blank image I’ve been displaying up til now will be shown. This won't appear any different unless you have templates with different images set for both file types. --- And that's the app update! And just a reminder if your custom templates are only in `PNG` form you may still be okay. I recently [re-tested](https://www.simplykyra.com/blog/update-which-version-of-the-remarkables-templates-are-emailed-out/) and see that the reMarkable still seems to default to the `PNG` image when the `SVG` image file isn't present.
