💡 Tips & Common Pitfalls
- Start with a simple design. Fine detail disappears at 16×16 pixels.
- 32×32 is a good minimum, and having a favicon.ico in the site root also helps older browsers.
- Your image is uploaded to the server to be processed, so avoid uploading anything confidential.
- Browsers cache favicons heavily, so a changed icon may take a while to appear.
