Tips & Best Practices

1
Always start with a perfectly square PNG to prevent the icon from looking stretched or squished.
2
Ensure your original design is simple, as intricate details will be lost when scaled down to 16x16 pixels.
3
Including both 16x16 and 32x32 sizes in the ICO file provides the best compatibility across different devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need an ICO file?

While modern browsers support PNG favicons, an ICO file in the root directory is required for legacy browser compatibility and certain RSS readers.

Can an ICO file contain multiple sizes?

Yes, a single ICO file acts as a container and can hold multiple image sizes, allowing the operating system to pick the best one.

Will the background stay transparent?

Yes, as long as your source PNG has a transparent background, the resulting ICO file will retain it.

What is the standard favicon size?

The classic standard is 16x16 pixels, but it is highly recommended to include a 32x32 pixel version as well.
