Frequently asked questions

What size is the icon?

ICO files hold images up to 256 × 256 pixels, so larger pictures are scaled down to fit.

Should the image be square?

Yes. Start from a square image so the icon isn't distorted or padded.

Do I need every favicon size?

For a full favicon set, with every size and manifest, use the Favicon Generator instead.
