Frequently Asked Questions
What size should my favicon be?
The standard favicon size is 32x32 pixels. Our converter automatically resizes your image to this dimension. For high-DPI displays, you may also want 16x16 and 48x48 versions.
Can I use a JPG photo as a favicon?
Yes, but simple graphics with solid colors and clear shapes work best at small icon sizes. Detailed photos may lose clarity when scaled down to 32x32 pixels.
How do I add the favicon to my website?
After converting, download the ICO file and place it in your website's root directory as "favicon.ico". Most browsers will automatically detect it, or you can add a <link rel="icon"> tag in your HTML head.
