Frequently asked questions

What sizes should an ICO file include?

For favicons, 16, 32 and 48 px cover browsers and Windows. Add 256 px for high-resolution Windows icons.

Can a JPG icon have a transparent background?

No — JPG has no transparency, so the icon keeps the JPG's background. Start from a PNG with transparency if you need a see-through icon.

Why should my image be square?

Icons are square. A non-square JPG is fitted into a square, which can leave empty space or squash the design — crop it to a square first for the best result.

Does the ICO work on all Windows versions?

The icon frames are PNG-encoded, which Windows Vista and later and all modern browsers support.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The .ico file is built in your browser, so nothing leaves your device.
