โ FAQ
Q. What sizes are generated?
A. 16x16, 32x32, 180x180 (Apple), 192x192 (Android), 512x512 and more are generated.
Q. What about non-square images?
A. Non-square images may be cropped or padded. Square images are recommended.
Q. What is the difference between ICO and PNG favicons?
A. ICO is the traditional format that can contain multiple sizes in a single file. PNG provides individual size files. Modern browsers support both, but including an ICO file ensures maximum compatibility with older browsers.
Q. Why is my new favicon not showing in the browser?
A. Browsers aggressively cache favicons. Try a hard refresh with Ctrl+F5 (Cmd+Shift+R on Mac) or clear your browser cache to see the updated icon.
Q. Can I use an SVG as a favicon?
A. Some modern browsers support SVG favicons, but compatibility is not yet universal. It is best to provide PNG/ICO favicons as the primary format and include SVG as a progressive enhancement.
Q. Is Apple Touch Icon necessary?
A. Apple Touch Icon appears when iOS users add your website to their home screen. At 180x180 pixels, it is highly recommended if your site has significant mobile traffic.
