This fixes

  • A website theme, CMS, or browser shortcut asks for favicon.ico.
  • An uploaded logo works as PNG but the destination requires ICO.
  • You need a small icon file while keeping the original design source.

How to handle it

  1. Start with a square source image such as PNG, SVG, JPG, or WebP.
  2. Convert the image to ICO and download the favicon copy.
  3. Upload the ICO where the site, CMS, or app expects the icon file.

Before you submit

  • Small favicons need high contrast and simple shapes.
  • ICO output is for compatibility; keep the original image for future edits.
  • Use PNG or SVG when the destination supports modern icon formats.
