Favicon.ico file

The favicon.ico file is the very first favicon in the history of the Internet. Now it is most preferable to specify a link to a vector SVG file directly in the body of an HTML document. It will provide maximum quality when displayed. But the standard favicon.ico file still needs to be located at the root of the site on its server to ensure compatibility.

The following requirements apply to this file:

  • Be 32x32 pixels in size, as this is the size that will be beautifully displayed in Ultra HD monitors. And Full HD will easily reduce the 32 pixel image to the 16 they need.
  • Have PNG compression, despite the expansion of the ico. So, its size will be reduced from 10 KB to 2 - which is a good optimization.
  • Location at the root of the site. That’s where all the programs that use it will be expected to find it, because that’s what the standard says.

You can generate this and all other favicons in our service.
