SVG → ICO online: create favicon.ico from vector
ICO is still useful for compatibility: some legacy systems and tools expect /favicon.ico. The best approach is generating ICO from the original SVG to keep it sharp.
What to include inside favicon.ico
- 16×16 (most important)
- 32×32 (common desktop size)
- 48×48 (helpful in some cases)
- Transparency (if possible)
Common mistakes
- Thin strokes that turn into noise at 16×16
- Too many details or tiny text
- Bad cropping (clipped edges)
- Low contrast with no background
