Frequently Asked Questions
What image format should I upload?
We recommend uploading a PNG or JPG file with a square aspect ratio (1:1) and at least 512x512 pixels. The image should have a transparent or solid background. Avoid uploading ICO files as source - they often have limited resolution.
Do I really need all these sizes?
Modern browsers are quite flexible, but providing multiple sizes ensures optimal display across all devices and platforms. At minimum, include 16x16 (for tabs), 32x32 (for bookmarks), and 180x180 (for Apple touch icons). The more sizes you provide, the better the user experience.
Where do I place the favicon files?
Place all favicon files in your website's root directory (e.g., https://yoursite.com/favicon.ico). If you place them elsewhere, update the href paths in the HTML code. The browser automatically looks for favicon.ico in the root, so that's the most important location.
Are my images stored on your servers?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using HTML5 Canvas. Your images are never uploaded to any server. This ensures complete privacy and security for your brand assets.
Why doesn't my favicon show immediately?
Browsers cache favicons aggressively. After uploading new favicon files, you may need to clear your browser cache or hard refresh (Ctrl+F5 or Cmd+Shift+R) to see the changes. It can also take time for CDNs to propagate changes.
