Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to the most common questions about creating favicons and logos.
For best results, use a square image that's at least 512x512 pixels. This ensures your favicon will look crisp at all sizes. We support PNG, JPG, and SVG formats. SVG files are ideal as they're vector-based and scale perfectly.
After generating your favicon, you'll get a ZIP file with all necessary files and HTML code. Here's how to install it:
- Extract the ZIP file to your website's root directory
- Copy the provided HTML code
- Paste it in the <head> section of your HTML pages
- Clear your browser cache and refresh to see the new favicon
Favicons can be cached aggressively by browsers. Try these solutions:
- Clear your browser cache and cookies
- Try opening your site in an incognito/private window
- Check that the favicon files are uploaded to the correct directory
- Verify the HTML code is properly added to your <head> section
- Wait 24-48 hours as some browsers cache favicons for extended periods
Yes! All favicons and logos created with Favicon.CV can be used for both personal and commercial purposes without any restrictions. You own the rights to your creations. However, make sure you have the rights to use any source images or content you upload.
Both formats serve different purposes:
- ICO files: Traditional favicon format, supported by all browsers, can contain multiple sizes in one file
- PNG files: Modern format with better compression and transparency support, preferred for high-resolution displays
- Our recommendation: Use both formats for maximum compatibility across all browsers and devices
