FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

What image format should I use for creating favicons?

PNG images with transparent backgrounds work best as source material. The tool can convert PNG to ICO format and generate multiple sizes. Avoid JPG as it does not support transparency, which is important for favicons.

How many favicon sizes do I need?

Modern websites need multiple sizes: 16x16 and 32x32 for browser tabs, 48x48 for desktop shortcuts, and larger sizes (96x96, 144x144) for mobile bookmarks and app icons. The generator creates all necessary sizes automatically.

Will my favicon work on all browsers and devices?

Yes, the generated ICO files work across all browsers including old Internet Explorer versions. Modern browsers also support PNG favicons, and the tool provides both formats for maximum compatibility.

Should my source image be square?

Yes, favicons are always square, so your source image should be square (same width and height) for best results. The tool can work with rectangular images but may crop or distort them to fit the square format.

How do I implement the favicon on my website?

Add this code to your HTML head section: <link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">. For PNG favicons, use: <link rel="icon" href="favicon.png" type="image/png">. Place the favicon file in your website root directory.
