Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need all those sizes?

Yes — different browsers and devices use different sizes (16×16 for tabs, 192×192 for Android home screen, 512×512 for PWA install).

Should I use PNG or SVG source?

SVG is best — it stays sharp at every size. PNG works if you only have a raster logo. JPG loses some sharpness from compression.

Will my logo become circular?

No — favicons render exactly as uploaded. To get a circular look, upload a circular PNG with transparency.
