Tips
The 32x32 favicon is displayed on Retina screens, so use a slightly more detailed version than 16x16.
Ensure the icon is still recognizable without needing to squint.
Use vector-based source images for the best downscaling quality.
Test on both standard and Retina displays to verify sharpness.
FAQ
What is the difference between 16x16 and 32x32 favicons?
16x16 is the standard size for normal displays. 32x32 is used by Retina/high-DPI displays to show a sharper icon. You should include both sizes.
Do all browsers support 32x32 favicons?
Yes, all modern browsers support 32x32 PNG favicons. Older browsers may fall back to the 16x16 version or ICO format.
Should I use ICO or PNG for 32x32?
PNG is the modern standard and supports transparency. ICO is legacy but can contain multiple sizes in one file. For best compatibility, include a PNG favicon-32x32.png.
