Question 1

What sizes are included in the generated favicon.ico?

Accepted Answer

By default: 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 64×64, 128×128, and 256×256 pixels, all packed into a single .ico file. Browsers and operating systems pick the size they need automatically.

Question 2

Where do I put the favicon.ico file?

Accepted Answer

Upload it to the root of your website (e.g. yoursite.com/favicon.ico) and most browsers will find it automatically. For full control, also add inside your page's .

Question 3

Should I start from a square image?

Accepted Answer

Yes — square source images (like a logo on a plain background) produce the best result. Non-square images will be stretched to fit each square icon size.

Question 4

Can I use a PNG or JPG as the source?

Accepted Answer

Yes, PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP, and SVG source images are all supported. PNG or SVG logos with transparency work best since the transparent background is preserved.

Question 5

Does this upload my logo anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No — the icon is generated entirely on your device using the Canvas API, and the .ico file is assembled locally with no server involved.
