Frequently Asked Questions

PNG with transparent background works best for most favicons. Square images are ideal since favicons must be square. JPG works too but doesn't support transparency.

Upload favicon.ico to your website's root directory. Most browsers find it automatically. You can also add the HTML code we provide to your page's <head> section for complete browser support.

Browsers cache favicons aggressively. Try clearing your browser cache, or add a version query string like /favicon.ico?v=2. Also check that the file has correct permissions on your server.

You get: favicon.ico (multi-size), PNG icons in all standard sizes (16-512px), Apple Touch Icons for iOS devices, and ready-to-use HTML code.
