Frequently Asked Questions
1. What size should a favicon be?
A standard favicon is 32×32 pixels. However, modern high-resolution screens require 256×256 or larger. Our tool generates a high-quality 256×256 image that scales perfectly.
2. Should I use PNG or ICO?
PNG is the modern standard and is supported by all modern browsers. ICO is the classic format, which is also universally supported. We recommend PNG for better quality and transparency.
