Notes

Source Image Quality: To generate clear and beautiful Favicons, it is recommended to upload high-quality, high-resolution source images. Square images are best, as they are less likely to be distorted during conversion.
Transparent Background: If your logo requires a transparent background, be sure to upload a PNG format image with a transparent background. JPG and GIF formats may not support or perfectly retain transparency.
Browser Cache: After setting or changing the Favicon for the first time, your browser may cache the old Favicon. If the new Favicon does not appear promptly, try clearing your browser cache or visiting the website in incognito mode.
Multi-size Compatibility: It is recommended to generate an ICO file containing multiple sizes (such as 16x16, 32x32, 48x48) to better adapt to different browsers and operating system displays, ensuring the best visual effect on all devices.
