Frequently Asked Questions
Is the downloaded .ico file a real icon file?
Yes. It is a genuine ICO container with 16px, 32px, and 48px PNG-compressed entries — the format every modern browser expects. PNG-in-ICO is the standard approach used by build tools like realfavicongenerator.
Why does my favicon look blurry in the browser tab?
The tab renders at 16px, so details vanish. Emojis with bold shapes and strong colors survive best; thin glyphs and multi-element scenes do not. Check the 16px preview strip before downloading — if you cannot recognize it there, simplify.
Where do I put the favicon files?
Drop favicon.ico, apple-touch-icon.png, icon-192.png, and icon-512.png in your site root (or any path you prefer), then paste the generated <link> tags into your HTML <head>. Browsers look for /favicon.ico by default, but the explicit tags guarantee the right icon everywhere.
