Why SVG for Favicons?

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is the ideal source format for creating favicons because vector graphics scale perfectly to any size without quality loss. Unlike raster images that become blurry when resized, SVG maintains crisp edges at 16×16 or 256×256.

Our converter renders your SVG at each favicon size independently, ensuring optimal quality at every dimension. This produces sharper results than downscaling a single raster image, especially for small sizes like 16×16 where every pixel matters.

Pro tip: When designing your SVG favicon, use simple shapes and bold colors. Fine details that look great at large sizes may become muddy at 16×16 pixels.

Frequently Asked Questions

SVG files are vector-based, meaning they scale to any size without quality loss. When converted to favicon, each size is rendered independently from the vector source, producing sharper results than downscaling a raster image. This is especially noticeable at small sizes.

Yes! When "Preserve SVG transparency" is enabled, your favicon will maintain full alpha transparency. This is perfect for icons that need to look good on any background color in browser tabs and bookmarks.

For best results, convert text to paths in your SVG editor before uploading. External images linked in the SVG may not render correctly. Use embedded images or convert everything to native SVG elements for reliable results.

Upload favicon.ico to your website's root directory, then add this code to your HTML <head> section: <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico">. Most browsers will also automatically look for /favicon.ico.

Modern browsers support SVG favicons directly with <link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/favicon.svg">. However, ICO format has broader compatibility, especially with older browsers and Windows. We recommend using both for maximum support.
