JPG Quality Settings Explained

  • High Quality (90-100%): Preserves most details but results in larger file size. Best for highly detailed images or photos.
  • Good Quality (80-89%): Balanced option for most images. Good detail preservation with reasonable file size.
  • Medium Quality (70-79%): Slight compression artifacts but smaller file size. Suitable for simple designs.
  • Low Quality (60-69%): Noticeable compression but smallest file size. Use only for very simple icons.

For favicons, we recommend a minimum quality setting of 85% to ensure your icon looks crisp in browser tabs.

Tips for Converting Photos to Favicons

  1. Choose Simple Images: Photos with clear subjects and minimal backgrounds work best.
  2. Crop Tightly: Focus on the main subject of your photo before uploading.
  3. Increase Contrast: Higher contrast images translate better to small favicon sizes.
  4. Consider the Background: Select a complementary background color that makes your image stand out.
  5. Test in Different Browsers: Check how your photo-based favicon looks across various browsers.
