Frequently Asked Questions
Should a favicon include detailed text?
Usually no. Small icons work best with a simple symbol, letter, or mark that remains recognizable at tiny sizes.
Why test icons at small sizes?
An icon that looks good at full size can become blurry or unreadable in browser tabs, bookmarks, and mobile shortcuts.
Do I need to upload files to generate favicons and web app icons?
For tools that process files or pasted content, this workflow favors in-browser processing where possible so drafts and source files do not need to be sent to the app server.
