JPG Favicon Tips

Best for Photos

JPG works best for photographic images with gradients. For logos or graphics, consider using PNG to Favicon instead.

Use Square Images

For best results, start with a square image. Enable "Smart Crop" if your image isn't square to automatically center and crop it.

Quality Matters

Use 85% quality for the best balance. Higher values increase file size without visible improvement at favicon sizes.

Background Matters

Since JPG doesn't support transparency, choose a background color that matches your website's theme or header.
