Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes do I need?
At minimum: 32x32 (browsers), 180x180 (Apple), 192x192 and 512x512 (PWA). The ICO file handles legacy browsers.
Can I use a photo as a favicon?
Technically yes, but it won't look good at 16x16 pixels. Simple icons, logos, or single letters work best.
Do I need an ICO file?
For maximum compatibility, yes. Modern browsers use PNG favicons, but the ICO format is still the most widely supported.
