We recommend starting with a PNG image with transparent background for best results. Square images work best. If your image isn't square, enable "Smart Crop" to automatically center and crop it.
16×16 pixels is the standard favicon size that works everywhere. For sharper display on high-DPI screens, also consider 32×32. Most modern browsers will automatically select the best size from your ICO file.
Upload favicon.ico to your website's root directory. Most browsers will automatically find it. You can also add this tag to your HTML head: <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
Browsers cache favicons aggressively. Try clearing your browser cache, or add a version query string: /favicon.ico?v=2. Also ensure the file is in your website's root directory and has correct permissions.
