Frequently Asked Questions
Why is SVG the best source for favicons?
SVG is vector-based, so it renders perfectly at any size. This means your favicon will be crisp at 16x16, 32x32, and 48x48 pixels. Starting from a raster image (PNG/JPG) often produces blurry favicons at small sizes.
What sizes are included in the ICO file?
The ICO file typically includes 16x16, 32x32, and 48x48 pixel versions. Some ICO files also include 64x64 and 256x256 for Windows application icons. All sizes are rendered from your SVG for maximum sharpness.
Can I also use SVG directly as a favicon?
Modern browsers support SVG favicons via . However, ICO is still needed as a fallback for older browsers and for Windows desktop shortcuts. Using both is the recommended approach.
