Frequently Asked Questions

What favicon formats do I need in 2026?
The modern favicon setup needs: (1) favicon.ico for legacy browsers, (2) favicon.svg for modern browsers with dark mode support, (3) apple-touch-icon.png 180x180 for iOS, (4) web-app-manifest with 192x192 and 512x512 PNG icons.
Should I use ICO or SVG for favicons?
Use both! SVG favicons support dark mode and scale perfectly but aren't supported everywhere. ICO provides universal fallback. Use <link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/favicon.svg"> with ICO fallback.
What size should a favicon be?
For favicon.ico use 32x32, for Apple Touch Icon use 180x180, and for PWA manifest icons use 192x192 and 512x512. SVG favicons scale to any size automatically.
