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.
