Frequently Asked Questions
What size should my PNG be for a favicon?
For best results, start with a 256x256 or 512x512 PNG. The converter will generate the standard favicon sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48). Modern browsers also use larger sizes like 180x180 for Apple touch icons.
Can ICO files contain transparency?
Yes. ICO format fully supports alpha channel transparency, which is essential for favicons that need to look good on any background color in browser tabs and bookmarks.
How do I add a favicon to my website?
Place the .ico file in your website's root directory as 'favicon.ico'. You can also add in your HTML head. Most browsers will automatically look for /favicon.ico.
