Frequently Asked Questions
What is a favicon?
A favicon (short for favorite icon) is a small, iconic image that represents your website. It appears in browser tabs, bookmark lists, and search history, helping users visually identify your site.
Should I use .ico or .png?
Modern web development best practices recommend using a high-resolution .png for most devices (like Apple Touch Icons or Android manifests), but keeping a 32x32 .ico file in your root directory ensures compatibility with legacy browsers.
Why is the background of my ICO file black?
If you upload an image with a transparent background but choose a solid shape mask without enabling "Bg Fill", some legacy image viewers might render the transparent pixels as black. Enable the Background Fill option with a white or custom color to fix this.
